Residents favour legalized prostitution: survey

"An online survey of residents and business owners in Vancouver?s Downtown Eastside and Strathcona shows that the majority of respondents?three-quarters of residents and 67 per cent of business owners?favour the decriminalization of adult prostitution in Canada.

The survey, conducted by Christine Louie, a Simon Fraser University honors criminology student, also found 77 per cent of residents support brothels in non-residential areas. Seventy-six per cent of respondents say the sale of sex should be legal and 72 per cent felt buying a sexual service from an adult should be legal."

Wow, www.wccsip.ca contains all the course material for a mini-education all by itself. I am now vastly more informed about the tremendous amount of work, and succession of initiatives, that you folks out on the "other coast" are engaged in. You're not only leaving no stone unturned in exploring current avenues of incremental improvement, but also have obviously made great strides toward being prepared for trying to shape the brave new world after the legal levee breaks. My hat (such as it is) goes off to you!
