The future looks blurry for the proposed network of Castro district surveillance cameras, as neighborhood groups opposed to the plan await word from the Upper Market/Castro Community Benefit District. "We're in a holding pattern," Stephen Torres, a gay man who is an advisory board member of the Castro LGBTQ Cultural District, told the Bay Area Reporter. "We're waiting to hear back from the CBD because nothing has happened since the town hall." Last month's town hall on the topic, hosted by the CBD, was slammed as being one-sided in favor of the proposed camera network after the cultural district withdrew from the discussion due to the exclusion of its allies.
