The problem with public prostitution is not that it's an exchange of sex for money it is that it is sex act done in public. The private exchange of sex for money is amiably arranged at wholesale levels everyday on the Internet and even in many wedding chapels. What, after all, is a prenuptial agreement?

Any city does have a legitimate interest in patrolling its streets and in engaging in what is known as "broken Windows" law-enforcement because it is a demonstrably effective way to reduce crime at all levels.

In Germany prostitution is legal, relatively disease-free, relatively free of white slavery and in most locations (Homburg, for example, excepted) conducted off the streets. The German system is better by every test except those which appeal to hypocrites

Okay, you got your insults in.

Enjoy your evening.

Thanks.

Homburg is a hat. Hamburg is a city.

I went through the Saint Pauli section of Hamburg a couple of years ago and was told it was the red light section of the city. Also the location of the St. Pauli Girl Brewery. Didn’t see any streetwalkers but it was the middle of the day so they were probably all sleeping after a hard night’s work!

Many of the properties literally with broken windows in Newark are already owned by the city, which doesn’t have the money even to demolish them. It is a bankrupt failure of socialist policies and government makework & corruption, a city that has outlived its usefulness and now is just a welfare economy.
