To be fair, Amsterdam red-light district is really safe, thanks to the windows and cops patrols. The plan to move them outside of the city in some shady areas is lowering the safety for all parties involved. And the reasons behind the move are basically "Won't Somebody Please Think of the Children?"

SBS made a good documentary about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxn84mAduXo

All bad policy decisions use that phase when none of them believe in helping or caring about children.

I think it's also about who defines the culture of a city, and frankly, that's not for a temporary elected official to decide.

I'd the people of a space want it to be different that's for them to decide.
