SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - In this live-and-let-live town, where medical marijuana clubs do business next to grocery stores and an annual fair celebrates sadomasochism, prostitutes could soon walk the streets without fear of arrest.
San Francisco would become the first major U.S. city to decriminalize prostitution if voters next month approve Proposition K—a measure that forbids local authorities from investigating, arresting or prosecuting anyone for selling sex.
The ballot question technically would not legalize prostitution since state law still prohibits it, but the measure would eliminate the power of local law enforcement officials to go after prostitutes.
Proponents say the measure will free up $11 million the police spend each year arresting prostitutes and allow them to form collectives.

On the one hand, I know that if I lived in such an area, I wouldn't want to see folks on every corner flaunting that with no worry of consequence. It would be like living in a cesspool of immorality IMO.

So you are not at all correct, and you yourself are in need of doing some research it appears. Not EVERYONE subscribes to the "quiet, behind-closed-doors" methodology you describe.
