Along corners of Manhattan where prostitutes have long gathered, flagging down cars and following passers-by, prospective customers now cruise around and around, discovering the obvious: many women have left. Not coincidentally, across the Hudson River in Jersey City, it's possible to find scenes reminiscent of Times Square 10 years ago: women in tight mini-skirts and high heels standing conspicuously outside motels, waving at passing cars.
The women have come from New York, officials on both sides of the river say. Some have moved to avoid midtown Manhattan police crackdowns. But just as many seem to be escaping the ravages of New York's crack epidemic and the cut-rate prostitution with which addicts support their habits. She said she worked the streets of midtown Manhattan for seven years before moving to Jersey City about 18 months ago.
The migration has had repercussions on both sides of the Hudson. In Jersey City, the police are tackling a thriving trade they barely knew a year ago involving traditional prostitutes who consider themselves professionals and turn over a share of their earnings to their pimps. Most men who seek prostitutes are suburban commuters, according to Lieut.
John Gilchrist of the Manhattan South precinct, which covers the borough from 59th Street south. He said that in most sweeps for customers of prostitutes, the catch was 70 percent suburban commuters and the rest a mix of out-of-town visitors and city residents. Convenience and Anonymity. Jersey City lies at the end of the Holland Tunnel and is crossed by several major roads, making it as convenient to slip in and out of as New York.
And on the grimy, industrial stretch of Routes 1 and 9 where the women operate, tractor trailers are more common than pedestrians; prostitutes and their clients have the same anonymity they had in areas of New York where prostitution has long been part of the streetscape. When Manhattan South officers started making fewer arrests despite frequent crackdowns -- the total was 1, arrests in the first seven months of this year, compared to 2, in the same period last year, Lieutenant Gilchrist said -- they found that some prostitutes had started going to Jersey City to meet quotas from their pimps.
