Do you think that it should be decriminalized or legalized? And then I have a follow up. Also, we are not legalizing prostitution in the state of New York, full stop. What about decriminalization? We are looking at legislation, but we are not supposed to of letting people who are committing the crimes of setting up systems where we have prostitution running rampant. and whether it's in Queens or whether it's the street of Manhattan, anywhere. So that is not appropriate. There are a lot of people making money off this, setting up these systems. (18:40–18:53)
