It was interesting to find a discussion about why women are doing what they do on the street. I was actually coming here to open a discussion on something I had not seen much discussion about. I don't know who else has noticed what I have witnessed. My area south of the city is pretty much dead. Some of the regulars are still around, but not out much. It seems like there is a lot of government assistance available as well as sharing. Housing is usually available because so many people are in financial trouble. It might be a mattress on the floor in a second story room with broken plumbing. But for many girls it beats the risks of the streets, which now is seeing a really mean Uncle Leo and more judges handing out jail time like it was free candy. The food stamps are there. The housing assistance is there, the disability is there. In other words, for those hating Obama and the Democrats (I'm pretty much a political atheist) , the mongers have another reason.
