I have lived in several neighborhoods with prostitution problems in this city and the girls on the street always seem drug addicted and in need of multiple services. We need to offer better education, drug treatment, and have stronger police/community relationships. Also, men and women involved in buying/selling sex should be treated equally in a criminal sense. If women are arrested the johns should be too. Portland needs to recognize its community wide failures and not just celebrate our "livable" successes. THank you for having this topic as we in the downtown/northwest area deal with this everyday.
