Ed, I am writing in regards to the articles about prostitution in South Trenton. I feel as though Muschal and Martinez should focus their efforts on the bigger issues of South Trenton, such as slumlords, gangs and drugs. I’m not saying that this prostitution issue is not a priority, but if you’re worried about the quality of life of the residents of South Trenton, then they should focus on the bigger issues. You can’t put all your efforts in prostitution in the bars, but need to focus on the bigger picture as a whole. I’m a resident of South Trenton for over 20 years, and I’m tired of living next to trashy renters who don’t give a --- about anything. George and Juan need to wake up and focus on the real issues of South Trenton.

You have a point. The average resident is more affected by unsafe streets and slummy neighborhoods than by some immigrant getting a $12 you-know-what in some dive bar. But hookers sure do make good headlines. —Ed. Note
