City of Miami workers tear down shanties built under the Julia Tuttle Causeway bridge Friday, March 5, 2010. The encampment was built by released sex offenders who, for years, have been forced to live there by laws restricting residency within 2500 feet of schools and playgrounds.  The Miami-Dade Homeless Trust is helping find homes for the ex-offenders.        BY MIAMI HERALD STAFF CHUCK FADELY
