01-08-09, Marlene Walker’s Opinion Regarding the Glendale Cell Tower Issue

 

I have said before and I still say that we need these cell towers in order for the areas not readily serviced by the various cell phone companies.

It was mentioned in another complaint about these towers that the cell companies should place these towers in areas that are not habited by homes.

 

Well, it seems these towers should be placed on public land, so what to do when everyone is NIMBY. Give the cell phone companies a break! Things can't always be the same -- this is 2009 and everyone has a cell phone. These towers are not like the old-fashioned telephone poles which truly are an eyesore. Land lines may be extinct fairly soon, who knows?

 

We live in a community that doesn't have underground electric service nor underground phone service, so live with it and stop complaining. Life changes, services change, homes change, so what? Be glad you don't live in a country that doesn't have anything!
