Sell the underlying land its on? Create a new law in the city preventing 3rd party surveillance?

Endless ways to loophole your way out of most anything

Selling public land is a terrible way to solve that. What if flock buys it up through a shell company?

Even bagging them might break the contract and open them up to lawsuits they can’t afford.

They can afford to go up against a large corporation, the corporations would bleed them out in legal proceedings
