[edit] Soho, London
I am british and have lived in London for several years, but I've never heard of Soho referred to a Sin City.
[edit] King's Cross, Sydney, Australia
as with the above, I am an Australian and I have never heard of King's Cross being referred to as a Sin City. Red Light District is probably a better term for it, going by both the term we call it, and the definition stated at the top of the article. King's Cross is a pretty small portion of Sydney Lynx Raven Raide 01:42, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Montréal, Québec, Canada
I'm from montreal and I can testify that the city doesn't have much sexshop or strip club than any other city. In fact, all city in japan should be worst than any other place... NullEntropy 10:33, 18 december 2007 (UTC)
- This article is highly unsourced. All that is needed is verification that a place is called "Sin City"; ideally, sources should explain why. (Sources saying a place is "bad", a red-light district, or generally licentious are not adequate.)
- I gave Montréal a {{fact}} tag. If a reliable source is not produced in a couple weeks, delete. Give it some time — I don't believe many editors watch this article, and most watching are probably trying to keep their city off. Since the main thesis is unsourced, such editors would be advised to persue an AfD instead. / edg ☺ ☭ 16:51, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cities needing verification
I was thinking of {{fact}} tagging Amsterdam as well, tho a Google search found "Amsterdam Sin City" on many blogs. My understanding of the term "Sin City" is a district where licentiousness (of some sort) is tolerated amidst a larger regional culture of conservative morality. Amsterdam might flunk this despite having a famous red-light district. I'm not sure the Dutch call it "Sin City", but perhaps other Europeans do.
If the place is not commonly called Sin City (or "a Sin City", or otherwise very strongly implied, e.g. "City of Sin" Lynn, Massachusetts), it is not "Sin City". / edg ☺ ☭ 17:07, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
