And it's getting more restrictive every day. Even so called older
neighborhoods are getting restrictions put in by the local city
councils in an effort to "make them look nicer".

These are the same fools that want streaming video on their cell
phones, but insist on no cell towers in their neighborhood.

On antenna towers for amateur radio use. I have no issues with
a tower as long as it meets certain engineering standards.

What got folks all riled up out my way, is a dentist/ham put
up four, 400 foot, towers on some property owned by one of his
kids. Legally he was in the clear, but he ****ed off all of
his neighbors, ... rich horsey country neighbors... and they
steamrolled a bunch of restrictive ordinances through the
county code to make sure something like that could not happen
again.

So thanks to his having the nicest contest station in the county,
nobody else can put up towers more than 20 feet higher than their
houses.
