Amsterdam authorities have had to postpone their plans to create a new erotic center amid public discontent, Parool newspaper reported on Friday. According to the outlet, mayor Femke Halsema suggested eight potential locations for the facility, as a part of the plan to relocate many of the sex workers from the world-famous Red Light District in the city center and tackle human trafficking in the industry.
Among the possible locations for the compound were, reportedly, a place near the Rai conference center, another in Oost borough and one in the still-to-be developed Haven-Stad district in the western part of the city.
Now, however, according to the newspaper, the authorities have to search for a suitable place away from residential areas.
