A couple of them in that article aren’t that bad looking. But certainly not worth an STD.

Convert an old K-Mart into a safe, comfortable and relatively clean brothel where the girls are tested and the state can tax things and be done with it.

I've never heard a satisfactory explanation from anyone on why that isn't the way to handle the whole situation.

Benefits:
-Takes the street gang pimps out of the equation
-Allows the girls to be tested for diseases
-Allows for underage prostitutes to be ID'd and helped
-Eliminates related crime (robbery, rape, etc)
-Takes it out of the public eye
-Allows the government to tax the transaction

This is one of the few things along with obesity that the Europeans do a much better job of dealing with than we do.

Something can be legal, but still have rules.

The current situation in L.A. is the worst of both worlds. Cops can’t do anything, and that allows criminals and gangs to run the streets.

Civilized societies that have legalized prostitution don’t allow it in open public spaces, prostitutes must be registered, and also screened regularly.

Well, this is the result of vying for "freedom between two consenting adults" as they like to put it.

I am not 100% opposed to that line of thinking but you have to be real about what the outcomes will be such as bare asses walking around soliciting.


All ideologies have massive issues when pushed to the extremes. Law and Order types would be flash banging, arresting, and charging 14 year olds as adults while also going after pimps for being child traffickers. Liberals would put in social programs that wouldn't help. Most libertarians understand that some rule of law is needed, but recognize how bloated and horrendous our government has become. Two consenting adults should be able to do what they want, but it is painfully obvious gangs and other actors are restricting that fair trade. It's not like the issue was truly manageable before as well, it just occurred at night when nobody gave a shite.

There is a belief it increases human trafficking

A good read on both sides of whether it does or not

Eddie Murphy did a whole routine on this.

“Having sex in the 80s is like gambling. And I’ve put my dick on the craps table many a night.”


Newsome has nothing to do with this - Hooking was huge in the 90s under Republican Pete Wilson.

Eddie was getting $20 trans BJs off Santa Monica 25 years ago

Hooking was so common in LA in the 90s that one of the largest films of the decade romanticized the trade and it made Julia Roberts Americas sweetheart

Where?

Where are they selling themselves for as little as $40?



Depending on how good she is and the guys finishing time this could be quite the lucrative practice.

They should just go ahead and legalize prostitution then tax and regulate it.

Those ladies need to take a page out of the screen writers and automakers playbook and strike for their right to make fair pay.

It is actually a voluntary exchange.

2 consenting adults that decide to have sex is all that it is.

Making that illegal to begin with was stupid.

All men pay for sex one way or the other

Then hammer the traffickers with life sentences and move on.

Yes. It shouldn't be illegal.

10 years ago, while working in Honolulu, I watched street walkers all over the place. It wasn't hard to distinguish between them and visitors but they had more clothes on than some of the typical mainland female tourists.

Interesting, Google Street View shows a thriving community with residents walking the streets safe and freely.
