Unlike the rural areas, Chinatown afforded few opportunities for women to come into contact with the larger society.” Simultaneously, Chinese women also participated in urban sex work, which resulted in local laws like one passed in April 1854 that sought to shut down "houses of ill-fame," not racialized in name but practically deployed to "[single] out Mexican and Chinese houses of ill fame, starting with Charles Walden's Golden Rule House on Pacific Street and moving on to establishments run by Ah-Choo, C. Lossen, and Ah Yow." With national unemployment in the wake of the Panic of 1873, racial tensions in the city boiled over into full blown race riots. Like much of San Francisco during these times, a period of criminality ensued in some Chinese gangs known as tongs, which were onto smuggling, gambling and prostitution.

Harris was caught, locked up in the local compter, and then imprisoned in Newgate. He was released in 1761 and had some interests in publishing from 1765 to 1766, printing Edward Thompson's The Courtesan, and later The Fruit-Shop and Kitty's Atlantis, but he seems to have given this up late in 1766.

The state of the sex trade and this new district was plagued by financial insecurity and many women, especially black women, were forced out of the industry. In 1900 “of the 95 houses of ill fame counted in the census, only four (4 percent) were run and staffed by black women” demonstrating the increasing vulnerability of black women in the industry.Blair, 132. Even Vina Fields, as successful and brilliant as she was, was not exempt from the “spatial, racial, and institutional landscapes of sexual commerce” that became more pervasive in this new space.
