re: Mayor of Medellín's Colombia bans prostitution in neighborhood tourists area

Poblado is the nicest neighborhood (the area a bit away from Provenza is probably the nicest part of the city), and I understand why.

But those areas, especially the restaurants and bars away from Provenza are actively trying to discourage prostitution on their own, as the country’s economy evolves.

You will still see lots of prostitution hidden in plain sight next to the Botero statues in the city center, but that is an area away from the place American tourists stay in, for the most part.
