  • What would Jane Jacobs think of modern surveillance?
    • She talked about "eyes on the street" as a pathway to safety.
    • But that's about situated people in the community who have shared interests.
    • The ick of surveillance comes not from recording but asymmetry of access and without a way to audit who can access it.
