Scantily Clad Escorts Wander San Diego’s Streets

Women wearing only “G-strings” in front of traffic has become a progressively frequent sight on the streets of National City, California, leaving the city’s mayor frustrated over a new state law that caused prostitution to intensify.
According to National City’s Mayor, Ron Morrison, the area has been increasingly chaotic due to prostitutes who have been assembling around San Diego.
Morrison explained that National City consists of a “diverse working class city of roughly 60,000 residents just outside San Diego on the bay.” He also said that what he has seen on his streets is “very much beyond brazen.”
“They’re waving to people on the freeway or, just to be honest with you, they are bending over for the freeway. I don’t know how else to put it; they’re showing their wares,” the National City Mayor said to the press in an interview this month.
In July 2022, California Governor Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) signed Senate Bill 357, which revoked a prior law that eliminated loitering with the intent to engage in prostitution. In January 2023, the law took effect.
Morrison believed that when Newsom signed the bill, men in California knew they had the potential to grow their prostitution ventures with barely any consequences from law enforcement.
“The moment it was signed by the governor, boom, everyone knew the rules were out the window,” Morrison said. “Those that are out there on the street, most of them are wearing less than what you would consider a scanty negligee. It is just flaunting in everybody’s face. And so a lot of people are screaming, ‘Hey, you know, can’t you get them on indecent exposure?’ And the problem is the way our laws are read in this state. The definition of indecent exposure is as long … as the genitals are covered. Anything else is fair game out in public.”
Prostitutes have been spotted near the downtown area that faces a freeway in National City. They are usually seen early in the morning or around 3 p.m.
Morrison believes that another reason the prostitution issues have accelerated is due to a new California law that made jaywalking legal, which may cause women to stand in the middle of traffic to attract men.
“I was driving on one of the streets the other day, and there’s this young lady standing there in the middle of the street wearing basically a G-string, and that was it, and a couple pasties. But she’s right in front of my car, I couldn’t move. So, I did ask her very politely, ‘Would you please move out of the street?’ And she looked at me and said, ‘If you don’t want to talk to me, you can go around,’” Morrison said.
Several businesses around the area, including local mom-and-pop shops and national hotel chains, have notified the mayor that their businesses have been failing due to the prostitutes.
Many hotels said that they were forced to refund families who were unhappy with their visit as they saw multiple naked women during their stay.
As a result, Morrison blamed the increasing prostitution issues on Senate Bill 357, which he called an “idiotic law” that he believes should be known as the “Safe Streets for Pimps Initiative.”
“This one has just opened the doors to prostitution, sex trafficking, child sex trading, I mean, you name it. This has obviously done that. And I don’t think anyone that is not just purely politically motivated could disagree with that,” Morrison stated.
Senate Bill 357 was written by Senate Scott Wiener (D-Calif.), who noted the bill as one that would assist to protect transgender women from being targeted by law enforcement.
“[The previous law] allowed police officers to arrest a person, not based on what they did but based solely on how a person looks,” Wiener told local media earlier this year. “So, an officer could arrest someone because they were wearing tight clothing, high heels and extra lipstick.”
Prostitution remains illegal in California, however, Morrison claimed that the new law has adequately legalized the criminality as police have withdrawn from interacting with the women on the streets.
“Senate Bill 357, which for all intents and purposes made prostitution legal because what it said is that officers can no longer contact people based on the idea of loitering for the purpose of prostitution. So, it basically tells the police your hands are off,” Morrison said.
The National City mayor announced that he is in the process of working with the local district attorney and the local police department to create ways to navigate California’s laws while clearing out the streets.
“People here are not happy about this in the least. And the problem is they expect us locally to do something about it. And we’re sitting here with our hands behind our back with handcuffs that Sacramento was placed on us,” Morrison concluded.

Besides the changes in state law, what other factors, such as location and timing, have contributed to the rise in prostitution activities in National City, California
Title: Prostitution Surges in National City, California, Sparking Frustration Amongst Residents and Mayor
Introduction:
The streets of National City, California, have witnessed a disturbing rise in public display of prostitution, causing concerns for both the residents and the mayor. The intensification of this issue can be attributed to recent changes in state law that have inadvertently facilitated the increase in illegal activities. This article delves into the situation, highlighting the frustration felt by Mayor Ron Morrison and shedding light on the underlying factors contributing to the problem.
Rising Chaos and Frustration:
Mayor Ron Morrison of National City expressed his deep frustration over the chaotic state of affairs caused by the influx of prostitutes from the neighboring city of San Diego. He characterized National City as a diverse working-class community located near the bay, and was disheartened to witness the brazenness and audacity displayed by these individuals on the streets.
Increasing Boldness and Provocative Behavior:
Mayor Morrison recounted instances where prostitutes openly flaunted their presence, waving at passing vehicles on the freeway or engaging in lewd activities. He emphasized that their behavior had crossed all boundaries of decency, leaving no doubt about their intentions. Morrison’s concerns were echoed by numerous citizens who voiced their support for stringent actions against such public offenses.
Root Cause: Changes in State Law:
The situation in National City took a turn for the worse after Governor Gavin Newsom of California signed Senate Bill 357 in July 2022. The bill revoked a previous law that criminalized loitering with the intent to engage in prostitution, leading to its resurgence. Upon the law taking effect in January 2023, the unintended consequence was a surge in the underground sex trade, with minimal consequences for those involved.
Consequences of Flawed Legislation:
Mayor Morrison highlighted the swift impact of this legislative change, stating that it sent a clear message that the rules were now much more lenient for those involved in the illicit trade. He emphasized the provocative clothing and behavior exhibited by the prostitutes, which, while not amounting to indecent exposure under current laws, were nevertheless a public nuisance.
Location and Timing:
The downtown area of National City, which faces a freeway, has become a hotspot for prostitution activities. The prostitutes tend to be most active in the early morning or around 3 p.m., further disrupting the daily lives of residents and workers in the area.
Impact of Legalized Jaywalking:
Another contributing factor to the accelerate situation could be a recent California law that legalized jaywalking. This change may have emboldened prostitutes to stand in the middle of traffic, employing dangerous tactics to gain attention and solicit clients.
Conclusion:
The increasing presence and boldness of prostitutes on the streets of National City, California, is a cause for alarm and concern. Mayor Ron Morrison and the community at large are frustrated by the unintended consequences of changes in state law that have inadvertently facilitated the growth of the illegal sex trade. Urgent action is needed to address this issue and protect the well-being and safety of National City’s residents.
