I don't have an issue myself with their being cameras there. My issue would be more with being a resident there. This is their home and in general you can expect a reasonable degree of privacy in your home and nearby. I would certainly hope they got written permission from each resident before installing the cameras because to me it comes across as that the residents in this project are not trustworthy whereas residents in higher income buildings and stratas are trustworthy and therefore don't require cameras.
You can't tell that none of the cameras inadvertantly record through residents windows of residents.
hhhmmm, I'm going to hazard a guess B.C. Housing would not be required to get tenants signatures. I certainly don't recall that detail when they were being installed. So I am lacking facts.
Isn't that the right of the landlord?
It is often not the tenants that are the issues, it's the element that comes in.
This is a phenomenon when you house hundreds together under the poverty line. By building large complexes such as Skeena Terrace or Evergreen Terrace...you're literally creating a ghetto. Or as they are called 'projects' in the U.S.
I can only speak of my own experience living in a different complex...it was more often than not that trouble was brought in. In fact we (as tenants)
asked for cameras.
Higher end condos and stratas...how many are laid out such as Evergreen Terrace? With numerous entry and exit points?
Maybe VHF can help me out as far as where the cameras were pointed.
The ones I've seen are targeted at the parking lots and common areas.
NOT at any resident's windows.
