swede316 Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Honestly...It's legal here in Australia...I've see no ill affects....No one complains, no one mentions it. Seems ok to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted November 1, 2008 Author Share Posted November 1, 2008 If it's going to be legalized it should be zoned as well in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 I don't live in SF, but about 30 miles away, so I didn't vote on it (I voted about 10 days ago by permanent absentee ballot). It is a city measure (the city and county of SF . It says that they won't arrest anyone for prostitution, there are no provisions to go after sex-slaves rings (big in the area -they have busted housed with 30 or more Asian prostitutes in them in other places in the area) or child prostitution. The mayor, DA, and neighborhood groups are against it. I would vote no. SF is enough of a cesspool as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it passes there would need to be restrictions put on it that I think would be easily made. Zoning, age restrictions taxes and licensing.

Peter Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Prostitution was around at the beginning of time and will be around at the end of time. We may as well tax it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wacka Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 Except it's SF, they aren't logical. You have a Board of "Stuporvisors" that is more worried about plastic bags in supermarkets, banning fois gras (they force feed the geese), costing the city billions by taking over the PG&E system in the city, and other non-important things. SF has the lowest % of children of any major city in the country. People are sick of finding syringes in almost every playground and park in the morning. Walk down Market Street (the main drag) just before the stores open. They are all washing the urine off the sidewalk. They don't do anything to stop bums from sleeping on the lawn in front of the nice city hall. It is a very beautiful city, but tourists do say, why don't they do something about the nuts and bums wandering around. Some idiots even are trying to get the Sewage plant named after Bush. What a waste of time and money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know that Australia's first woman European "settlers" were prostitutes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
