Buggersfield is the Hooker spot in California these days. Crack heads and meth heads and girls coming down from Fresno and husltling guys for hundred bucks a pop. And the johns a paying it. Invest in a fleshlight, it less expensive and safer guys.

Lets make prostitution legal like pot and regulate it. The gals will have to be licensed with health checks weekly, designate certain areas where they can work in "houses" which can be a motel or brothel, and tax them. Any that still work the street give them a mandatory one way vacation to Juarez, Mexico and ship them there.

Oak St, between California ave and Brundage ave, is becoming the new Union ave in those regards. You can see the girls walking up and down. Plus the live in the low cost motels on Oak st. The sweepstakes internet cafe, "The Hot Spot," even had women selling sex in the parking lot so they could gamble there. Yes this is next to Pizzaville. Druggies are seen in the area along with violence and theft. So as these women are pushed out of Union ave, they still have other places to go. The City of Bakersfield appears the be ok to let this happen to Oak st. Oak St has even earned the nickname of "Oakdale."

These Prostitues are so blant all the way down to Ming Ave. They stand almost in underwear on cold days even in the a.m. Police should be able to check ID's for loittering!! Bakersfield needs to drive these people from Bakersfield, legally but need to enforce existing laws.

How about they crack down on residential burglary? It's pretty bad when multiple homes in the same neighborhood have the front doors kicked and the criminals seem to have no fear of being caught, or at least they realize if caught they will only spend 30-45 days in jail before being released.

Well everyone knows marriag is the most expensive type of prostitution. A few years back, the Californian published the 'going' rate of these hookers. Much cheaper than a wife.
