Reply to comment by Little_Noodles in Two Philly developers think Atlantic City can look more like Amsterdam with the help of a $3 billion housing development by Dryheavemorning

I don't think the article makes the point you're trying to make.

For one thing, the article isn't specifically talking about sex work; it's talking about people who are exploited in "construction, agriculture, transport, sex and catering industries, as well as amongst people forced by criminals to beg".

Also, the article credits the Netherlands as handling this well:

>The Australian report ranks the Dutch government as having one of the world’s strongest responses to modern slavery

I lived in the Netherlands for 6 months and can tell you from first-hand experience that Atlantic City is in MUCH worse shape than Amsterdam.

I am from the Netherlands and i live in Philly now and have been to Atlantic City and I can vouch for this. To get AC to look like Amsterdam they'd neeeed a lot more than 3 billion.
