The mayor of Berlin's central Mitte district has proposed installing "Verichtungsboxen" -- booths where prostitutes can meet clients -- in the airport site, a bid to improve the safety of the city's sex workers. These include drive-in booths, where customers can meet sex workers in their own vehicles.

This sounds progressive and humane. A city administration that cares for sex workers, instead of condemning them.

@helenS Not really. There are a limited number of spots. They will be bid on to see who gets them. Those sex workers trying to make ends meet will be no better off.

@SooperSarah Maybe it can be seen as a first step. (I'm only trying hard to see things in a positive perspective).

Were these types of drive-ins a thing before?

When I first read the question I thought it was talking about the drive-in theater. We still have one.

@midnightrose when I first saw the headline the drive-in theater is what popped into my head too. I guess entertainment has changed over the years.

That's retarded. I mean I ain't got anything against sex workers. However That's like me expecting the town to give me a garage so I don't have to work on people's cars in the street.
It should be up the hookers to find a place to sell their wares and indulge their services.

@helenS You do realize prostitution is a legal and legitimate profession over there? Yeah.......

helenS · 36-40, F

@MethDozer I think this was done to provide those you called "hookers" with some basic rights.

@helenS The right to a free office.... Ummm, no that doesn't hold up. That's ridiculous. Their rights aren't being denied because they weren't given government provided working spaces. Again, it is no different than a mechanic expecting someone to give him a garage so he doesn't have to fix cars in the middle of the street. Hooking is a legal, legit, and regulated business over there.
