#1 They have hookers in San Francisco? Who knew? I would have thought the amateur competition had run them out of business by now.

The whores won't be allowed to wear panties, though: California law requires that public utilities be open for inspection at all times.

#2 but the measure would eliminate the power of local law enforcement officials to go after prostitutes.

No, I don't think the DA's and cops will ever stop going after the girls. It's one of the perks of the job isn't it?

#3 They wanna save a lotta money, why don't they just disband the police force? Wouldn't think there's much of a need for one in San Francisco, seeing how they don't consider much to be illegal.

#6 They pay the homeless in SF about $400 a month. Perhaps they should do the same for the hookers. Make it a free service of the city.

#7 They don't "weigh" anything excepting drugs in San Francisco.
"weighing" is an alien though concept.. in SanFran.

#8 Proponents say the measure will free up $11 million the police spend each year arresting prostitutes and allow them to form collectives

What the hell do the police need to form collectives for?

#9 San Francisco = Free Zone for everything.
