I was pondering this on my walk to work today. Recently we got a poster through our door by the lovely residents living around me. The council has proposed to use some houses on the street next to mine to house youth offenders in order to rehabilitate them etc. after they do their time inside. Obvioulsy all the rich people living round me were up in arms about this and figured crime rates would go up ten fold etc. etc. and there were quotes of "not in our neighbourhood" cliche bollocks. Anyway, I had no real objection to the proposed scheme, unlike everybody else around me.
Anyway, this got me thinking about whether I would live next door to a brothel (if they were legal as I think they should be). I live in an area where there's hookers on the corners half the time and I think if a nice businesswoman came to my door and said "Hey I'm gonna open up a brothel next door" I don't think I would object given that: She explained the business practice i.e. are there opening hours etc., could guarantee that the girls working were fairly stable and happy and that she insulated her house so I didn't have to hear it all going on. I'm sure most people wouldn't agree with this sentiment, I just wondered whether anybody else would live next door to a brothel? I don't think I'd move to a house next to one, but if one was being made next to me I wouldn't mind.
