There’s a lot of uproar in the neighborhood right now about towers like this one. The government recently changed the rules so there’s no longer any consent or consultation required: the cell network operators are free to put these poles up right in front of your house if they want. Splitting your view in half? Tough luck. Humming a bit? Turn up the tv.

The towers are multiplying because modern cell service like 5g is way better and faster, but the signal has a shorter range. So you quickly come to love all the high speed data, and now you need more towers.

What price progress?
