Unhandled Exceptionc0000005




When one speaks of his neighborhood, he understands it as something close, where his people live, where life is pleasant, where a walk leads to no risk because everything is known . That's where you feel safe, where you do not believe that fear can paralyze. As you cross the imaginary boundaries, sales abroad and do not know that you can run into.
Red is a color connotations: policy course, danger, love, ban, etc.
However when these two words together comes something amazing red light district. A set of streets with a special magic and it is difficult to classify. Express with words what you can see there is a difficult complicated, but I will try. First I shall situate
a little, imagine a city of small houses, 2 or 3 floors, with narrow streets, with high humidity and with holes everywhere. Think that rare is the day when no rain and the sun is a precious gift that very occasionally you enjoy. Now that you're located, you open your eyes and you see houses everywhere "strange", lean towards you (so that when sites were built to facilitate trade and increase the charges to the pantry on the top floor, the facade is not plumb .) As the ground is sandy and you have to save weight, the facade is composed of large windows and some brick. Fast forward
, sailors just arrived from their trip for months or years and find young girls on the streets, I feel like an adrenaline rush and already in the fifteenth century, a people who lived on trade and barter , he "happened" to charge for it, was a "business." Both

Several times they tried to ban it, but finally in the seventeenth century adopted prostitution in the city. The approval of these windows which displays took place in 1911. So we
throughout the twentieth century, with the boom of tourism and transportation facilities, Amsterdam becomes a claim. It's something that in most Western countries is not only prohibited, but this frowned upon.
If we add the permissive use of soft drugs, the cocktail does not sound very good in many ears.
The current mayor of the city has begun a plan which will reduce the coffee-shops from 400 to 50 and the Red Light District booths will be closed, "moving" on the outskirts of the city (for now 50% of the licenses have not been restarted). By 2012
process must be completed.
You're right, it does well, .... So we can raise doubts and more doubts.
I agree that things evolve and that nothing is forever, but we are talking about removing something that takes more than 5 centuries as well, a hallmark of a city. For Furthermore, it is normal that people do not want you to hear the words drugs and hookers, is associated as a synonym the name of your city.
As in all there are detractors and supporters. I've seen is beautiful, do not approve of prostitution, while I respect those who live it.
What I do not forget the image of children holding hands on their breasts, going to school and the home side the 24 hours a day have windows.
are the contrasts of the city. By
Pistols.
Thanks!
