Good article. People speaking at city council meetings is great, as long as the people speaking actually live here.
Not thrilled about cameras, but a park is a public place, so I have mixed feelings about it. Are any of these being planned along the lake where people mysteriously keep “falling in” and drowning at night?

AFAIK, they're meant to catch car burglars, so will be in the parking lots. They are "AI" cameras, so I assume at least license plate readers. The company said they don't do facial recognition in an interview, but their company's page says their cameras do facial recognition. It's a large expense ($400k - $2 million) to tackle a small problem. There's probably some corruption/bribes going on, IMO. They could put up regular solar powered cameras for peanuts if they wanted. IDK if they plan to install cameras around that Rainey Street area.
