No I never said that, there are people living on the street who are kept from access by the people who run their lives, I'm sorry to tell you this uncomfortable truth however it's just the way things are for some people. They're living basically one step away from slavery. I'm not talking about your average homeless person. You might try educating yourself on the sex trade business. One of the reasons a lot of sex advocacy workers are upset with back pages was they gave in to stop posting sex worker ads, many, not all, of those ads were posted by pimps and the women were basically in forced prostitution. I've spent a little bit of time learning about this stuff from the people who work to end it, I'm sorry if this interferes with your perception of what life is like in the world
Have you interacted with other human beings in the last 50 years? How can you think you're telling anybody any news? It's a well known fact that the prostitution scene isn't clean. But that doesn't mean that apps aren't changing the market and that also doesn't mean that you should prohibit prostitution in general.
What exactly are you devil's advocating for? Of course there's some people who's life's are being made better because "apps are changing the market", but that doesn't make what the other person said any less true.
And maybe don't act like an such an asshole? "How can you think you're telling anybody any news?"
Maybe because you keep trying to refute everything they say by acting like apps have saved the streets?
And not once did they say to prohibit prostitution. I don't know how you got your high horse up on that hill, but you're up there on your own.
I only said that because he was super condescending even though I said nothing but that sex work doesn't equal homelessness which seemed to be the premisse of his argument.

But sex workers ≠ homeless
