I agree.
Personally I'd rather live next door to a well run, and legalised brothel, than live in a street that is plagued by kerb crawlers, harrassing people's wives, daughters, and grandaughters. As many of the areas that are red light districts now, are in ordinary residential streets, peopled by ordinary people. Certainly those neighbourhoods wouldn't be littered with as many needles, and condoms, if girls were off the streets.
I came across this the other day, when researching crime figures against prostitutes.
But last week Clare Finch, 49,, was cleared by a jury at Luton crown court of running a brothel – a decision described by some sections of the media as throwing Britain's "antiquated" prostitution laws into confusion. Finch admitted offering topless massages with "happy endings" from her bungalow in the quiet Bedfordshire village of Chalton. Up to four women worked from her home offering a range of massage and sexual services. There was no trafficking, coercion, drugs or under-age girls involved, and no public nuisance caused. Indeed, two of Finch's neighbours - one a woman of 85 - gave evidence on her behalf.

So perhaps Steeljack underestimates what people think, when it comes to what goes on next door. As long as there's a 'happy ending'.
