Storyville reborn

My embedded reporter in New Orleans has an idea for the Recovery Czar: open up an area near the French Quarter where prostitution is legal. (This bright idea may result from his time as a construction engineer at a small Russian shipyard in Astrakhan where the locals were running a brothel out of the living quarters, and his residing above a brothel while a student in Boston.)

Storyville was a famous section of the city, long known for its varied houses of ill repute. (What did you think the House of the Rising Sun was all about?) Surely the Big Easy could find a few blocks (below sea level, so it gets washed clean every few years when the next hurricane hits) where the tourists could be separated from their priapism as well as their dollars...
