Hunter Homes says NO to sex offenders!

Elizabeth, I am impressed with these builders for sure.  Let's hope they've begun something that will keep on going.

Hey Sis!  I think that's is just grande and that all builders should do this!  Great idea and goes to show your builder DOES care about the community.

I'm SO jealous that you're going to Seattle!  I would love to go and LOVE to meet you there!  I can't wait for them to come to the east coast--southern, PLEASE!  I am planning to go the next time any of the conferences are in the south, that's for sure.  Enjoy and give the AR guys a big hug for me while you're there!

Good for them!  However, it's sure a sad statement about our society that this policy is needed.

Thanks for bringing up the strong stand this builder is taking Elizabeth!

Hi Elizabeth, Happy New Year. This is a very interesting concept and one that might be a trend setter. These concerns are common through the land and this may become a new standard. Thanks for sharing this.

Hey Girl!  You know I received that announcement and deleted it, thinking it was the Seattle conference again!  I just checked my calendar and it looks like I can make it--I'm going to have to clear with CFO hubby before I commit though!  This is exactly what I was hoping for too!  I have to go to Greensboro earlier in the month for my final CRS course and I'm thinking that if this conference counts towards CRS, I can just use this as my final task to complete it.  Got alot of checking to do but, will let you know!

WooHoo!  I'm SO excited that I may finally be able to meet fellow AR members!

I did not realize you could do that legally.  Sounds like a good rule for the most part.

Wow thats pretty wild......I'm not sure how that works out here my way...hmm

I would only question if its legal though???  Im no Lawyer it just sounds like discrimination.  The individual was convicted and following the law by registering, did their time and following the law ???? 

A guy who decided to pees in the alley and got caught could have to register as a sex offender here.  Is he a offender, no, but would still have to register.  A drunken college kid who decided it would be funny to moon somebody faces a misderminor charge of indecint exposure, pay the fine, and has to register as a sex offender, virtually ruining his life.  Sure what they did was wrong, but for somebody to deny housing to them for that, I don't agree.  Most sites that list "sex offenders" only list the registered offenders that register, not the crimes, so they are all (in the publics eye) child molesters and rapists. 

I can almost see the Registered Offender becoming a protected class. 

I had this fight lat year witha  member who got very angry with me, its not my intent to anger you.  With two kids I would welcome such a thing, but I do not agree with the laws (as written).  Judges have no discretion on what  a "sex offener" is which causes alot of false positives. 

I bet that is all about soliciting good will from the community more than it is about anything else. I can't imagine any sex offender wanting to take them on in a court of law!
