tptacek writes on here sometimes about their activity in local politics. This perspective (from my reading) is that it has a lot of strong support that is difficult to oppose, not that we should give up. Read "give it a year or two" as "give it a year or two of things going as they are".

He also lives in a "nice" suburb of Chicago IIRC

I strongly suspect a neighborhood in Chicago composed of the kind of demographics the "nice" suburb's residents are worried about would have a very different take on the issue.

And by "strongly suspect" I mean "know because I live in that kind of neighborhood in a different city in a different state".

I live in Jackson Hole. None of my neighbours knew what these were. They’re getting taken out.

Don’t presume what folks are worried about without asking them.

It's genuinely funny how wrong you are about this, or about what my intersection with Flock is. Go on, keep extrapolating!

I’m pretty confused by the innuendo in the posters comment to even get what they are saying, but I can report from the south side of chicago that surveillance cameras are largely popular across demographics.
