Hookers
Complain It Being Too Bright
Antwerp, Belgian port city's waterfront will dim the bright new
lights after prostitutes complained they were putting off potential
clients. "We had some remarks from the prostitutes that there
was too much light, both for them and the clients," city council
spokesman Jorn Verbeeck said.
Prostitutes
complained to city and police officials that the lights installed
in December did not give them enough privacy and hurt business.
The port, which tolerates prostitutes in a select few streets
near the waterfront, will next week test an electric system to
dim the lights, Verbeeck said. If the test gets the thumbs-up
from the city's sex workers, the system will be rolled out across
the red light district.
