I'd rather have ten antennas than those 3 fugly giant water tanks near
my house!

Yeah, me to. Where my mother lives (condominiums) they absolutely
prohibit visible antennas of any sort - it's in their association
bylaws. If they put up a dish - they have to camouflage it. The City is
just as tough on other similar stuff...

One point of distinction that might matter is who owns the actual
roof. Much harder if it's someone else.

Here's mom's neighborhood...

See any antennas? There is one - VERY tall as a matter of fact - see it?

In case you think I'm making this up - here is a close-up noting two of
the lower antennas (there are several more up in the "fronds")...

Very nice.



So like Chuck said - I'd like to see some references on that.

Actually - at ground level - they're pretty well camouflaged - they're
not tall - about the same as a two story house. There are tall trees and
such blocking the view from most directions- except through the tall
fence where that property faces the street - but that's quite limited
and on a busy main thoroughfare.

That picture was zoomed in pretty far - "that stuff" is a lot further
away than you might suspect - and that makes it hard to judge how close
things are together, how much something "really" sticks out, etc.

Here is where that shot was taken from - not zoomed in:

You cans still see the tanks - but you gotta look. Besides we'd rather
put up with that than the brown air of downtown (and this was a *very*
clean-air day after some heavy rains!):

Shot from the same place- just turned towards downtown.
