Wtf! The city had done such a good job cleaning up this area and at the very least moving this off the street. Tbh, I don’t go out much these days for late dinners, but this feels like bad slippage by the city.

Has it been like this for a while? These women were literally half naked. I had not seen this in years.

DEFUND THE POLICE !

The police are more likely to beat them or patronize them than help them.

Give them a universal basic income, mental health / addiction services if needed, and you might just take away their "need" for that line of work.

Of course if it's what they choose to do without coercion then who cares?

Nobody with a better option would ever choose sex work voluntarily.

It's a great job market right now, so no one should have to do sex work, unless they are forced into it (which then suggests that it should be an even greater law enforcement focus).

Some people are incapable of holding jobs because they are addicts.

The government should supply free drugs so these people can be employed.

… by the D.C. government.

Been that way for decades. You just move there?

The butt cheeks hanging out along with boobs pulling out the top used to be the sign but I feel like I’m see other people wearing that now. I guess if they actually ask for money for sex, that’s the way to kmow.

Op here: definitely prostitutes. They were trying to talk us (two men) through the window of the car. Came up to the car door. These were not clubbing outfits, I know the difference.

How can you tell for sure if it's a prostitute or Lauren Sanchez?

Was Lauren soliciting men in Logan Circle?

To be honest, I couldn't tell for sure - the lighting wasn't all that great but she was a brunette, had the cartoonishly large lips and the outfit was EXACTLY the same - did you see her too?!

No, I wasn't trying to pick up a hooker. I am not entirely sure why you are so obsessed with a successful woman either.

Did you get a discount for being local?

It was a stunt, but one of the few good things that the late mayor-for-life did was one night to have MPD herd a number of prostitutes across the 14th Street bridge into Virginia. Barry said that's where a lot of the johns lived so he was moving the illicit business to another jurisdiction. It would have been hilarious to see the prostitutes staggering across the bridge in their oversized heels, trailed by slow moving DC police cruisers.

Maybe Bowser can push out today's sex workers on e-bikes.

I remember watching the news that night in college. They were marching them across the bridge until a photographer showed up then they stopped. Ch 4 News (they always got the nasty news first) had videos of the hos sitting down on the “curb” rubbing their tired and blistery feet. Ho shoes don’t look like they’re good for a ho hike. You were right. It was hilarious!

This is actually a good thing. There should be no shortage of street walkers

It’s beginning to feel a lot like …. The Marion Barry era in DC again.

I've invested a lot in this city and am deeply disappointed in our post-2020 downturn (and also I'm outraged by the idiots who celebrate it).

After Bowser gives every prostitute a free $2000 e-bike. And then spends another $8 million for a new bike lane to ride them in.

+1 Too many women of all ages today are dressing like the lowest common denominator -- as tacky and revealing as possible.

Ok Susan. Not everyone wants to shop for boxy red sweaters at Talbots.

DP and I don't celebrate it. Instead I just expected it to come back around again. It's DC after all. It's dysfunctional at the core. You can pretty it up but at some point the facade gets old an peels away. Don't worry, it will get patched up again and things will be better for a while.

DP. Haha, says someone who doesn't realize that there's a huge range between the two. You need to go out more often.
