San Francisco Prop K

Sex sells. If you want public attention, I would suggest to hold a sexy street party and parade, that sort of thing. Give it a Halloween theme so sex workers can hide their face and ID, so hopefully more attractive people may come forward. A masquerade street party maybe? Handing out mask on site so patrons or potential patrons may just join in for the fun.

As for the prop itself, I'm not so sure. Say I would let them investigate, so they will concentrate on trafficking if they can find any. If there's no checks and balances, SF, being in America, has the potential to make it as in your face as Amsterdam, but with the scale of London.

SF is lined with pretty historical buildings (relatively speaking) everywhere. There are many small apartments with huge windows close to street levels.

Prop K does not stop investigation of trafficking or sexual slavery, or kidnapping, or child abuse, etc.

In fact, it mandates that the police "vigorously enforce laws against coercion, extortion, battery, rape and other violent crimes regardless of the victims status as sex worker."

It only stops investigation and prosecution of consensual prostitution.

Never read the wordings that I probably have no patient for, nor come across anything easy to read versions.

Didn't know where I got the "investigation" bit from. I think the idea I got is to forbidden investigation of prostitution as a form of harassment, when it's decriminalized. The analogy is the current excuse of busting gang members in order to do immigrant raids in illegal immigrant neighborhoods.

But telling LE not to investigate anything prostitution related is as problematic as asking them to just investigate sex trafficking or slavery.

Also, I don't mean just hooker sexy, but also decently sexy, who can be your anybody. Also, how about meet and greet on the streets? Those who come to M&G parties wouldn't mind doing it in the streets, especially with mask on.
