better patrolling, more sting operations, longer jail sentences. I could think of more things but it would depend on the age demographic of the people doing the crime.

That's it man! Gotta do those things instead of letting these people get off easy! STING OPERATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If they cant trust who they are buying from/selling to, they'll (hopefully) give up!

I'm all for public canings(sp?) - You give people a few canes and see if they keep that stuff up.

Get uglier hookers....try the ones at 79th and Biscayne....they appear to be the nastiest....not even sure if they are all women.....ahhhhhhh, Fort Lauderdale and A1 A near Dania.....who would have thought so many hookers would be around motels built in the 50's.....hard to imagine.....hey, I guess they need love too?

Over and over and over again....repeat.

When were you last in Miami? As unlikely as this probably sounds, 79th and Biscayne is turning into an area of high end restaurants and boutique type shops and pretty much all of the Biscayne corridor has been either cleaned up or is on it's way to being cleaned up. You still might encounter a hooker or two at night but it's becoming less common. Maybe the uglier hookers have moved up to Hollywood so the johns will head even further north?
