Why dont they just make it legal, regulate and tax the crap out of it.
If many law abiding citizens continue to break a particular law then the law is no longer socially justifiable. Laws are simply social control over behavors that are unwanted.

Its the same with pot and speeding. Many people smoke pot and many people speed(like me).. hopefully not at the same time.

Its another law that needs to be repealed.

Its funny though.. you see in many areas of the country.. enforcement of said laws is completely driven by local citizens objections to the practices. Most dont care about prostituion, pot or speeding and therefore there is lax enforcement.

The main objection to prostitution is street walkers and disease. Make it legal, they all go to one area where they can be and people can go. Regulate it and disease is kept to bare minimum or non-existant. Then tax it.. make money to fund schools, build infrastructure and local projects.
