Italy Destroys Forests to Combat Prostitution

After many failed attempts at thwarting the prostitutes which apparently run rampant along the Bonifica del Tronto roadway in Abruzzo, the regional government has decided that drastic times call for drastic measures. Where video cameras, patrols and raids have failed, public works chief Angelo Di Paolo believes that destroying all the trees and bushes along the 69 acres of land will resolve the problem, according to an article in The Guardian today.

Now realistically, anyone with half a brain knows that the oldest profession in the world will find a way to outwit the law. With no trees or bushes to hide behind, any guesses as to where will these 600 "ladies" of the night work their magic?
