- In Sunnyvale, CA, my neighbors and I successfully got CellularOne to
- not place a tower by involving the entire neighborhood. I read the
- technical specs filed with the city, which were full of errors
- indicating the one who filed was inept. I used the facts against them.
- We had a geologist from the USGS (my neighbor) report on seismic
- issues and safety due to collapse, and one other neighbor got a friend
- who was a real-estate broker to comment on property value impact with
- specific examples from other cities. We also had a petition signed by
- 150 residents opposing the tower. We then showed up in force at the
- preliminary City Planner's hearing. CellularOne was _Blown Away_ by
- the action, research, and the facts we presented. The city immediately
- rejected the plans. It takes planning & effort, but it worked for us.
