San Francisco Considers Creating ‘Red-Light District’ Legalizing Prostitution

  • Amid an ongoing problem with sex trafficking in San Francisco’s Mission District, one San Francisco supervisor is proposing the controversial idea of creating a sanctioned red-light district in the city.
  • Speaking with ABC 7, Santiago Lerma, legislative aid for Supervisor Hillary Ronen, said that Ronen is backing a plan to create this sanctioned sex work area, though no specific proposal or location have been announced.
  • “What we want to do is push our state legislature to legalize sex trade in California. This would allow localities to regulate the trade and keep people safe,” said Lerma.
