The fight over cell phone towers close by Santa Barbara homes is many times inconsistent. Most people want not as many dropped calls with even better cell phone coverage. On the other hand, a lot of communities hope to keep cell towers out of their neighborhoods. Towers might lower property value and are very unattractive. To work properly, a cell tower needs to be in sight. This means an ugly, massive piece of steel must be put in higher than the tree line. This does not fit well into a community layout, but is OK for an urban setting.

To combat this, companies began putting towers in that resemble trees. Although, there isn't anybody that is fooled by a fake tree. When discussing towers with communities, cell phone companies need to be sensitive and open. In turn, Santa Barbara households should remember that they are capable of winning a fight against cell phone companies. By going into the situation with a team mentality, both sides should get what they want.
