Meh, people are engaging in this practice in probably every town in the US. It's like pot to me. Pot and prostitution are both illegal. How many people here couldn't find a hooker and a couple grams of bud in the next, say, two hours? Legalize it, vice laws don't work and never have. You're never going to stop people from indulging these vices. Remind me how that whole prohibition thing worked out? You can talk about an increase in tax rev. all you want. There may well be some but , IMHO, the amount saved not trying to enforce these unenforceable laws would dwarf any taxes gained. Then LE could focus on crimes like theft, burglary, rape (and all other sex offenses) and murder.
