The Land Park Community Association was all for the cell tower going up west of Riverside in the cemetery. They didn't want the cell tower on the other side "where everybody could see it." That's because we don't want the wealthier residents of Land Park to be forced to stare at the cell tower. It's much better to stick it on the side of Land Park where the poor people live. Where people who live in the low-income housing units or drive up or walk down Muir Way have to look at it.
However, as cell towers, go, it's not bad. Although I live and work in Land Park, I do have a few listings in Antelope. That's because as a busy Land Park agent, I also sell a lot of short sales in Sacramento. It's the nature of our economy at the moment. To reach this listing in Antelope, I have to drive north on Walerga from Greenback. There is an awful looking cell tower there. Looks like something from outer space.
But here in Land Park Sacramento, our cell tower is somewhat camouflaged. I mean, nobody will mistake it for a pine tree, but it's not staring you in the face. And at least when I am west of Riverside, maybe T-Mobile won't drop my cell phone calls.
