Yesterday, I took a tour through the red-light district. I was a bit surprised by how small the area has become. Years ago, there were around 300 windows here, but now it’s down to 200. The authorities are doing everything they can to restrict the business.
What’s ironic (or sad) is that the general public is fine with the red-light district remaining in the city center. There’s no opposition or protests against it, and normal residents live above the windows where the women work—they’re okay with it.
Despite this, officials seem determined to reduce its presence. The windows are licensed for a limited period, and they simply aren’t renewing those licenses. Technically, they can claim they’re not banning any particular operator or working woman, but in practice, that’s exactly what’s happening.
Now, only about 200 windows remain, and next year, even more will close as their licenses are not being renewed—a striking display of political arrogance, ignoring what the local community actually wants. What a mess.
