San Francisco is considering a formal “red light district” as it attempts to cut down on illegal street prostitution while also allowing sex workers to continue their trade.
The Los Angeles Times reported Thursday:
As San Francisco prepares to block vehicle traffic from a stretch of the Mission District this month in an attempt to stifle street prostitution, the idea of creating a designated district for sex work is gaining traction among some advocates and officials.
A red-light district might not be a far-fetched concept in the Mission, where many residents say sex workers have been present for decades.
Though San Francisco has not taken any official action on a red-light zone, officials are having water barriers and other barricades installed on Capp Street in response to recent complaints about what county Supervisor Hillary Ronen called a “cruising zone,” according to the San Francisco Chronicle. The stretch of Capp between 18th and 22nd streets will be closed to vehicles except for those of residents.
Previous efforts to decriminalize prostitution have been met with controversy, and have failed to protect sex workers

The government wants to be your pimp, your drug dealer, your bar tender, the creator and arbiter of all laws, your savior and your god. The government wants to say who will be born and when you shall die, when you wake up and when you shall sleep, what you shall watch, read and listen to every day of your life if they decide you get a life.
On the corner of Sodom and Gomorrah.
I thought that was what O”Farrell streeet was for.
Just down the street from Fecal Lane.
Watch it girls...it's all about paying taxes.
Just take the first exit on the Hershey Highway.
Offramp onto Brokeback Blvd, exit #666.
The strip clubs in SF have been essentially bordellos since the 60’s.
This has been common knowledge for decades.
Obummer Admin closed them down and arrested the owners.
It looks like the reason was to put his people into ownership.
Oh and I’ve never been to any of them.
I just lived long enough in the Bay Area to hear about it.
“Watch it girls...it’s all about paying taxes.”
Bingo! Like MJ legalization, the penalty for not paying taxes will exceed by far the previous penalty for possession or plying of your trade in the oldest profession
Exactly !! SF already allows you to poop on the street, why not have open Red Light District? They can all be down by the free drug usage parks.
Maybe some entrepreneur will set up a TP, Condom and Narcan stand.
I’m coming hooooooome to you, San Francisco…..
“San Francisco is considering a formal “red light district” as it attempts to cut down on illegal street prostitution while also allowing sex workers to continue their trade.”
So they’re prostitutes if they’re on the street but they magically become “sex workers” when the same street get officially baptized as a “red light district”.
The intellectually dishonesty of these cockroaches knows no bounds.
Wouldn’t it be more realistic to wall off a few blocks as “Decent Human Values” zones, and let the rest of SF be the Red Light District?
will it be segregated, straight/queer/transients???
Ask Baltimore or any other city that allowed a red light district n the past.
They were all shut down for a reason.
Considering the current state of San Francisco, wouldn’t it be easier, more efficient, to delineate the few areas where prostitution is NOT allowed? Hmmmmmmmmmm?
