I don't get it. We have powerlines on every street yet NIMBYs complained about a single cell-tower being built in my hometown. Whether something is an 'eyesore' or not seems totally arbitrary. And in my view, this one has a real beauty, like a city skyline - totally artificial yet vibrant and exhilarating.



People originally objected to the Eiffel Tower as being an eyesore. It was also built as an advertisement.


The trend is to always hide everything as much as possible. I think that creates an uncanny valley effect. Better to paint things bright vibrant colours rather than bland grey.
