'If you legalize the trade, you can actually zone areas where it's allowed and zone areas where it's not allowed,' Sup. Ronen said. 'So it's not done on neighbors' front doorsteps.'
"There are families that live here, everybody is concerned," she said. "Mostly about the pimps."
Osgood says more police patrols and the city's newly-implemented street barriers are temporary Band-Aids moving the problem and the danger that comes with it from one street to the next.Supervisor Ronen agrees there's no good solutions that will address the world's oldest profession, but Tuesday she proposed one - legalize it.
"If you legalize the trade, you can actually zone areas where it's allowed and zone areas where it's not allowed," Ronen said. "So it's not done on neighbors' front doorsteps."Ronen says the resolution is a long-term strategy that will likely take years of discussion before passing and years to implement and properly regulate.
His neighbor Shawna supports it on the belief that it will help protect women forced into this line of work by way of poverty, lack of education, and other underlying socioeconomic factors. "We have pimps beating up on the girls in the middle of the night, and customers beating up on the girls," said Shawna. "I'm scared for them."
