As to the OP, if the local community doesn't want the headache associated with legalized prostitution - the mandatory health tests, inspections to make sure everyone is of age and being treated well, etc. - then they should be free to keep it criminalized. If they are willing to undertake the responsibility, I'm all for it. It's not for me to impose my morality on someone else.
The US is a very big place. Why does all the US have to agree with you or what you want? If the people of Smyrna, Georgia, Provo, Utah and Riverside, California don't want to legalize it, who are you to say that they're wrong?

And people are free to move to communities with laws more in line with their values. That is what I love about the United States. But sometimes I wish the country at large would realize what I bolded in The_Jazz's statement, and keep their noses out of the laws that the people of my city and state have chosen to pass that are in line with our community values.
In regards to the OP, I agree with The_Jazz--it's an issue that needs to be left up to the individual community, in regards to whether or not they want to take on those responsibilities.
