#3  The story behind the scenes is actually immigration.

About a decade ago, the red light district was dominated by local talent, the girls were unionized and things were pretty orderly. Then a huge number of eastern European and "Asian" girls were brought in by human traffickers and pimped, which screwed things up.

Amsterdam: Due to Major Urban Renewal the city will be under going tremendous upheavel and Heavy Construction.

Under these circumstances How about Mayor Job Cohen making the Islamics in his city an offer they can't refuse.

Mayor Job Cohen,
