California should take a cue from the sex capital of the world, Bangkok, and create a Pat Pong district, with an area for male prostitutes and an area for female prostitutes, and sex tourists will flock there, increasing tourism.
It is my belief that many in this country would rather keep prostitution illegal, while still tolerating it being practiced so long as it is 'hidden.' This means keeping things the way they are with prostitution occurring in massage shops, in strip clubs, through escort websites, and on the streets. So long as it stays on the downlow and one has to seek it out in certain out of the way areas or discreetly through the internet hookups, that is okay. In Nevada, they are strict about where brothels can open and conduct business, and the brothels are far away from the major cities (out of sight, out of mind).
What they don't want is prostitution legalized and brothels established where services are openly advertised to the public. Despite what some may say, society will always look down on sex workers no matter how 'legitimized' their trade becomes in certain locations. Even many who want to legalize prostitution probably look down on sex workers; they would never consider sex work a normal or healthy way to earn a living, and no way would they want their children or family members to one day do that line of work.
You are essentially advocating for the decriminalizing of prostitution.
It is one option I would support. There are many vices that are legalized with limits; smoking is legal but ads are restricted and gambling only allowed in certain ares for example.
If prostitution was made legal like it is in Nevada and regulated properly it would remove the criminal element Nevada has proven that it can be done. Up until the early 20th century when religious zealots pushed to ban it local cities regulated it.

Gambling is everywhere. You can buy lottery tickets probably just down the street from you. You can make sports bets legally sitting in you living room or on your phone. Actual casinos are more limited but not gambling.
Ads for smoking are not allowed to keep them away from children. Yet alcohol which is probably a worse vice that smoking is highly advertised. Gambling is advertised all over.
Seems to me if its taxed and regulated I have no problem with it. As long as the women are legal age and willingly doing that occupation its really no ones business what they are doing. And if its legal its easier to stop sex trafficking.

Mexico does that also. I know there is boys town in Laredo, MX.
So you don't mind of they solicit and service their clients in front of your house either? Or in front of you family? How do you explain that to the kids?
The far left Democrats have lost every semblance of decency and morality. What they represent is depravity and perversion, and are the dregs of society.
I have observed this in lots of cities. Areas where you find street walkers are usually commercial streets or really bad neighborhoods. If they are in front of your house, you are living in the hood. And you kids will see drugs being sold and people being robbed, etc. You will have to explain to your kids why you chose such a horrible place to live.
