It all stems from the same culture of permissiveness and individualism. The shit in San Francisco’s streets, the graffiti, the needles, etc., is a physical manifestation of the city’s underlying cultural degeneracy.

Again, I still have yet to see you or any other commenter explain how two people wilfully exchanging money for sex harms people uninvolved in this transaction.

Shit on the streets has a clear harm: worse sanitation, increased probability of stepping into shit.

What's the harm of sex work? "Cultural degeneracy" is an extremely vague and hand-wavy claim.

And for what it's worth non-individualist countries such as much of east Asia actually have substantially higher rates of prostitution than North America. I don't see the link between individualism and prostitution.
