You imagine legalized prostitution as something that's not intrusive to the community, but in many respects it is, especially if that town becomes the only place where it is legalized. They'll have the bad reputation they're saddled with, and the excess baggage that comes with the customers that solicit the services of prostitutes (which usually aren't the most upstanding citizens).
If you've been in a town that has a strip club not named Scores and seen the neighborhood, I can't see how anybody would think it wouldn't be any worse if that's a localized area where prostitutes can congregate and ply their trade.
