According to the mayor of Amsterdam Femke of Halsema, the new format will be a good compromise between the needs of citizens, particularly residents of the famed street, and tourists and respect for the rights of sex workers. In addition, another reason she called the measure to combat illegal prostitution.
the Local sex workers were more likely to complain about the crowds. Many of them drunk and loud and acting inappropriately. As for the residents of the houses located on the street of De Wallen (the official name of the street Red light district), they also strain the tourists.
