[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get the argument for legalization, but I lived next door to women actively participating in sex work and it was awful. If we're going to legalize, we need to figure out the zoning because it should not be happening near kids or schools. [/quote]

Can you tell us a bit about what happened and why it was so terrible?[/quote]

Men would come up on our porch late at night and ring the doorbell, before realizing they were looking for the house next door. Condom wrappers in front of the house. Sometimes we would see groups of girls standing on the corner in the morning, bent over with butts out. People coming and going at all hours. Occasional police activity. There were also way too many people living in the house, and many of them smoked (though that's unrelated to the sex work). They were also young women, renting a house, who had zero investment in taking care of the place, so there was trash everywhere. Again, unrelated to the sex work, but it sucked. [/quote]
