A proposal to place more than 125 security cameras in San Francisco's Castro neighborhood died June 7 in the face of significant community opposition. In a unanimous voice vote, the Castro/Upper Market Community Benefit District Board of Directors decided not to continue discussion of the proposal. The vote came just after the results of a survey were announced at the meeting purporting to show majority support for cameras, but the poll was criticized by some for its leading questions. "We don't have any commitment for long-term costs, so that's one reason I'd say kill the program here tonight," said CBD Treasurer Crispin Hollings, a gay man and longtime community leader. "Another thing is ... we are an unelected body that would be imposing a system on this neighborhood outside what the CBD ought to be doing. There's a lot of good work that the CBD can do without being distracted by this."
