The fight over cell phone towers close by Santa Barbara homes is often times inconsistent. Most want even better cell phone coverage and do not want their phone calls dropped. On the other hand, a lot of communities don't want cell towers in their neighborhoods. Towers might even lower property value and are very unsightly. To work properly, a cell tower has to be visible. This means an ugly, bulky piece of steel must be put in above the tree line. This does not fit well into a community design, but is fine for an urban setting.
To remedy this, companies started putting towers in that look like trees. However, a steel tree hardly fools anyone. When debating towers with neighborhoods, cell phone companies should be sensitive and open. Santa Barbara residents need to remember that it is possible to win a fight against cell phone companies. By going into the situation with a team mentality, both sides will be able to get what they want.
