Re: The Worlds Oldest Profession. (merged)
There are red light areas already. Shepherd Market in London is for the upmarket stuff, and just try walking around Soho in the evening. Same in any large city - even in small towns - remember the Barbary Coast?
Anything that keeps girls off the street and makes them safer is okay by me. Licensing will do away with a lot of the abuses, but I'm not sure it will stop pimping, even if it is by the "landlord". Using industrial estates may be a good idea, but they are empty and not very safe at nights - and once the mugging crowd catch on to the fact that there are punters turning up with hard cash, they could be less safe still.
A previously well-known "lady" had a flat in our block once (before I lived there) and apparently the number of visitors grew exponentially! They didn't bother anybody else, so where's the problem.
