A friend read my post on sex workers in the neighborhood. He said it reminded him of this story:<\/p>\n

When I was about 6 or 7, I dropped an ice cream on the sidewalk in my neighbor\u2019s yard. I was really upset that I had lost my ice cream. The neighbor ran out into the yard, as if she had been waiting for a chump kid to come along, and yelled at me to clean it up. She complained that ants and other insects would take over her yard.<\/p>\n

So I kicked the ice cream scoop into the street. And plotted my revenge.<\/p>\n

Soon after, I took a bag of sugar out to her sidewalk, and lined it with sugar. I had two reasons in mind. First, I could do an experiment to see if she was right. Would ants take over her yard? Second, I could wreak my revenge on her.<\/p>\n

Lo and behold, she was right. Ants invaded her yard, covering the sidewalk in black. I only hoped that they would get into her home.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He went on to say that being neighborly to sex workers would have the same effect. Sex workers would be swarming to your street if you did any of those things I suggested. His response was, \u201cNot in my neighborhood.\u201d<\/p>\n

Maybe I\u2019m naive. Okay, I\u2019ll own that. But why can\u2019t we do something?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
