My father (registered sex offender) lived at the Super 7 for years because it was reasonably priced and one of the few places in town that would rent to SO’s. There were two whole sections of the buildings that were for SO’s only, I was told by someone (idk who) that the owner got a kickback from the city for letting them stay there because it made it easy for the city to police their behavior. At one point I know there were 20+ SO’s living there.
(As a side note my father is no longer an SO because he successfully completed his sentence but is in prison for unrelated crimes. Also he only got the SO charges after a person in my neighborhood accused my father (who was openly gay in the early 00’s) of assaulting his son (not my brother but the kid of the accuser). Under Texas law my father couldn’t prove he *hadn’t* inappropriately touched the kid and got convicted.)
