Finding Room for Cell Phone Towers
I’m sure you or someone in your family owns a cell phone and probably in most cases they are more than 1 member in the household that has a cell phone. Every where you go these days you can find someone talking on their cell phone or just looking down at it playing a game or texting a friend. So with everyone having a cell phone these days, this means the cell phone companies need to continue to find places to put their cell towers. In many cases they are willing to pay property owners a fee for allowing them to add cell site locations on their land. I wouldn’t have any problems allowing a cell phone tower to be placed on my land; if I was indeed going to be getting paid for it. They take up a small piece of ground space when you factor in just how big they are. Most of the size goes straight up and not much control we have with the air space above our land. It’s not like the airlines are contacting us and wanting permission to fly their jets over our land, so the air space above your property is there for the taking. If you can find away to turn that into cash, I think it’s a great idea to have a cell phone tower site to be placed on your land.
Some people do view cell phone towers as an eye-soar and don’t want them any where near their land. I would imagine that during lightning storms they would get hit a lot and it would probably sound like a shot gun when the lightning made contact with the cell tower. So they are some things to consider if you would be willing to put a cell phone tower on your property. Will the loud popping sounds from storms that contain lightning bother you and your family? If you own a lot of land; then you might be able to avoid this by having the tower far from your house. Will the neighbors make a fuss over it? Some people still have respect for their neighbors and would not want to intentionally upset them. So you might want to casually ask those neighbors you have respect for and see what type of answers you get back. As our world continues to grow daily, we are running out of land. We will have to plan better for the future and start using our land as efficiently as possible. Due to the popularity of cell phones and all the advantages they offer, I think we will have to provide the land for these cell phone towers in the very near future. So if you are against having one in your neighborhood, don’t be upset the next time you have trouble finding a signal.
