These cameras aren't just invasive, they are expensive. Cities are paying a pretty penny to access a few web cams.

Last I looked it up, $2500 per year per camera in the surveillance area.

That doesn't sound expensive to me. Not compared to, say, a $1.7M public toilet[0].

To be clear, I do not support Flock cameras.

> $300,000 for architecture, engineering, and environmental reviews, plus $150,000 for construction management. Multiple rounds of public feedback, commission reviews, and administrative paperwork required extensive paid city staff time.

WTF this is it! This is the solution. Every single Flock camera should be required to have an environmental review and multiple rounds of public feedback!
