A city can do that without the state's ok?
so could a city make gay marriage legal?
Well, if it does win, then is the next step to legalize pimping? If we think for one moment that women are going to be safe without the protection of a pimp, then y'all got another think coming!

Meanwhile, prostitution has already been decriminalized in pretty much the entire United States, without anyone noticing. As long as you aren't on the street, the cops don't investigate. You can even advertize, as anyone who has ever leafed though a free weekly paper in any major city can attest.
It's funny how the authors of this article single out SF, in what is obviously a culture-war tactic. SF is perhaps a bit more open and formal about what's going on, but there is no substantial difference between there and any other American city. Well, except for the ones in Nevada, where prostitution is explicitly legal...
And the recent national changes in prostitution enforcement (which is to say targetting only street prostitution) has had the effect of making prostitutes safer and decreasing their reliance on pimps (since they now pre-screen customers over the phone, and also control the setting where they meet). It has been correlated with a marked rise in the esteem that sex workers hold their profession in, which has in turn made it more likely for prostitutes to remain in the sex business.
I don't know about that. Young drunk college students will do just about anything. they'll let old creeps "feel them up" or they'll give blow jobs for $40, just to pay for a taxi ride home. (Like some porn film). I believe the women you're thinking of are the ones who have lived past their college years and are much more mature and less naive. I think those women are less likely to resort to prostitution. College girls can't wait for someone to give them a reason to take their panties off. Then they'll realize how stupid that choice was in the morning.
I have to say, I do now. I enjoy the companionship and closeness, but relationships are so confusing and finding someone on the same wavelength is impossible. Not to mention arguments about protection are eliminated and what you want can be mail-ordered. That said, getting an erotic massuesse is too risky for this girl. I'll go without.
Risky in what way? Just curious.

If a male escort decided to commit a crime against me or passed an STD, I could find myself fucked without opening my legs.
if you want to do it use a legal licenced brothal (if they exist where you are) because that way you can be sure that it is regulated for your saftey and the saftey of the sex worker
of course it will, you really have no idea what unionisation and regulation does to an industry do you?
look at the difference between the US banking system and the australian one, one is heavly regulated and there for stable and the other isnt and is collapsing. You can easerly aplie the same principle to prositution, for instance requiring birth certificates be presented is a good way to start to make sure all paticipants are over a certain age, regular snap inspections is another way and happens quite often in the hospitality industry (for food saftey) with the threat of shut down if one under aged sex worker is found ect
