I wonder why such a liberal City hasn't legalized it yet. You can completely cut the pimps out of the value chain by decriminalizing , regulating, and standardizing prostitution.
Would be much cheaper than doing weekly raids. The dozen or so cops involved in the operation could be doing more important things for the city.
Hell, I'm surprised private equity firms haven't jumped on to the brothel business the same way they jumped onto weed. They have more than enough capital to force jurisdictions to legalize anything. The government contract for standardizing prostitution and the consultancy fees to McKinnley would be massive
