Last July, San Jose issued an open invitation to technology companies to mount cameras on a municipal vehicle that began periodically driving through the city’s district 10 in December, collecting footage of the streets and public spaces. The images are fed into computer vision software and used to train the companies’ algorithms to detect the unwanted objects, according to interviews and documents the Guardian obtained through public records requests.

    Doesn’t the Democratic party have complete majority control of most cities and the state legislature?

    That’s a party which usually claims to be about taking care of poor people or ‘housing is a human right’, but I keep seeing evidence that part of California’s issue is residents eliminating any/all zoning that isn’t classic single family homes in places where there’s tons of good jobs, but super expensive housing.

    It’s hard to wade through political party propaganda, but I thought this was well documented.

    I don’t live in CA, so I don’t really know more than articles publish, but it just seems like they voted for the more American liberal/progressive party and still aren’t getting those values?

      Yeah, it turns out that politicians in both parties are garbage people pandering to the masses.

      Instead of voting along party lines people need to vote for real people that can act like adults and actually govern. Most of our government officials are now too busy passing meaningless resolutions, performing the same study that’s popular in all the other cities, or busy on social media pandering to vocal minorities.
