Was it Google or Apple that tried to design "their own smart city" in Vancouver or wherever it was? You can bet your ass that would at some point involve "private security" to handle things faster than local police, along with "better" schools and all that, it's a slippery slope so welcome to Shadowrun! We don't have fantasy races but we have fantasy genders so there will be trolls(wu/troons) and dwarves(FtM).
I mean, there's nothing especially egregious about private schools and private police, so long as there's some choice in the services offered. After all, having a multiplicity of options is what keeps the price low and the quality high. The problem with Google or Apple or any other modern quasi-governmental corporation in charge is there specifically won't be a multiplicity of options, except worse because they pick and choose when they' want to be a private business to deny you access, and when they're a state monopoly to prevent anyone else competing with them.
