@boo_ @196 im not excited for this, one of the proposed locations is like 10m away from my house

ok but if they were building a building called the sexscraper 10m away from my house I’d be down if only because of the cool name

Honestly, I get it. It's easy to call people out as NIMBYs who are against stuff like this, but while I think that this could grant safety to sex workers, I'm not sure I would want it next to my house either

@boo_ I honestly don't mind the concept itself, either. But do I trust them to implement it in a way that would actually meaningfully improve things? Not really. I see it as a force of gentrification more so than anything. They want to "clean up" the center, after all. I don't think it can get more clear than that :s_confused:
