California is in a mess in many ways. Much of it is due to Democrat crime policies that have turned the once "Golden State" into a shithole.

Now, the state has a prostitution problem that is out-of-control thanks to a law signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom (who else?) decriminalizing it.

Now there are calls to legalize prostitution to solve the problem. Right, that's really going to solve it.

Fox News reported:

A San Francisco County leader voiced support to legalize prostitution in the city as brazen soliciting spirals across the state after a new law took effect this year.

"What’s happening right now on Capp Street is it’s become more brazen, and bigger than we’ve ever seen it before," county Supervisor Hillary Ronen told The Los Angeles Times last week.

"Instead of repeating the same cycle that we’ve repeated for decades, it’s time to try something new."

Ronen called the situation "out of control" in comments to the San Francisco Chronicle, and pushed for San Francisco to install barriers on Capp Street in the heart of San Francisco’s Mission District, after it became lined with prostitutes and pimps.

This week, she is expected to announce a resolution that will urge state lawmakers to legalize prostitution. 

"I don’t think this is going to happen tomorrow. This would be a major change in policy and direction," Ronen told The LA Times "I certainly won’t be the first person to try to urge the legalization of prostitution, and I won’t be the last."

The surge in prostitution and apparent human trafficking in California comes after a change in law took effect last month that repealed a ban on loitering with the intent to engage in prostitution. The bill's sponsor, Democratic state Sen. Scott Wiener, argued the change would protect transgender women whom he said are disproportionately targeted by police.

Democrats would really love to legalize prostitution so they can tax it. Just watch!
