'It's like every night pimps and prostitutes come and take our street hostage and neighbors are shut in.' Here's what a group of San Francisco residents witness on a nightly basis.
"We see women walking down the middle of the streets pretty much naked. The line of bumper-to-bumper cars all towards 3 o'clock in the morning. It looks like the Las Vegas Strip," said Paula who lives on Capp Street.
Their network includes about 50 neighbors now. From 19th to 22nd streets they document at night and call 911. They say it's gotten worse in the last five months."Do you think that it's going to get to the point that residents are going to do more than call 911?""There is complete lawlessness on Capp and we are left to fend for ourselves. So yeah.
Supervisor Hillary Ronen visited Capp Street last Friday night and is now making this her top priority.Supervisor Ronen says she would like San Francisco to legalize sex work in designated areas in the future. In the meantime, she plans to take action.
