In Hungary, prostitution is legal. Each community can define the areas where prostitutes can work.

They have socialized medicine leftover from the communist days (poor quality) but if the prostitutes pay taxes, then they get regular checkups.

A woman can work as an escort or massage in their own home.

Pimps and brothels are not allowed.

But it is a pretty good system and Hungary has some of the nicest and healthiest prostitutes in the world!

In California it isn’t necessarily women on the streetcorners. Whether they are wearing dresses or trousers or shorts.

Will it be set up like Lyft or Uber?

You only get serviced by first available agent?

Prices rise based on local market demand at that hour?

Does either party have right of refusal in the deal or must both client and hooker purchase/provide service without discrmination on either party’s behalf?

Unionized.

The whore with the most seniority gets priority.

To force calling them “hook up girls” or “girlfriends?”

Since the California legislature is packed with whores that think they’re not criminals, this action stands to reason.

Theoretically, they would make it more difficult to have premarital sex, thus incentivizing men to get married and have children and potentially lead productive lives. Efficacy is debatable. Whether prostitution laws can be effective at this purpose in the modern era is even more debatable.

Europe learned long ago that licensed brothels are the way to go, not street hooking. Brothels provide health checks, condoms, even drug abuse treatment that street hookers do not get. Plus street hookers means pimps, a nasty and violent lot.

Most likely, those women hanging out the street corners discuss latest literary offerings by Barnes & Noble with men in cars...

Hungary has some of the nicest and healthiest prostitutes in the world!

We need visual evidence to support that statement

“Our laws should protect the LGBTQ community and communities of color, and not criminalize sex workers, trans people and brown and black people for quite literally walking around or dressing in a certain way.”

Their victim hierarchy is getting more and more complicated. I would have just stuck with the word “degenerates”
