YES Pleeze! My daughter has one in her office building in downtown Denver in a sketchy area and it's been like an invaluable watchdog. If you've lived downtown, you'd know that robberies and vandalism happen around 3 a.m. We HAD a security company but we NEED 'round the clock presence.

I don't think a robot will help because it might take police sometime to get there

Waste of money! Hire a security company! By the time the robot notifies the police on the other side of town, the bad guys will out of time!

Why have boring old security cameras, when you can pay way more for 1 security camera that goes vroom vroom?

Waste of money - if this is approved the inmates have definitely taken over the asylum.

Shocking that Toby has yet to be fired. The walk up kiosks that are now disabled-how much $ was wasted on this short-lived idea? The signage is still no where near succinct. Every misstep of the way, it has been overly complicated, poorly executed, & expensive. The robot is another example.

Why not video cameras and Human Beings. Sounds like a huge waste of money. The robot is nothing more than high tech virtue signaling that will accomplish nothing.

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?

People should not have to put up with annoying intrusive lights that inconsiderate neighbors install
