I recently had another person in the news busisness, so to speak, ask me if it’s true that residents of Fusion Studios, where I live, rent out their rooms for cash. I asked around the building about this, giving informants the safety of confidentiality. Only one said they had heard of someone renting out their room for the night, but several people said rooms get rented out by the hour for sex work.
