Facial recognition is well known to have racial biases with respect to accuracy.
If the building I’m currently renting in suddenly decides that I’m not a legitimate visitor some random percent of the time, then I’m very likely to move and go somewhere that isn’t going to do that to me. That percentage doesn’t have to be very high; it just has to be higher than a key, which has a success rate approaching 100%.
Edit: forgot to mention: it’s also somewhat common for a building’s owner to change beneath its tenants, with the new owner enacting policies that are clearly intended to flush to old (and therefore less profitable) tenants out. Cameras that track the activities of tenants and make them feel unwelcome would typify this kind of policy, even before any racial bias in the technology itself.
