I think I recall reading a few years ago that it cost 10 times as much to get a cell tower permitted in California as it does in Texas.
the people around here once got the town to self identify the place as a Nuclear Free Zone
Id say its nearly a common sense free zone..with 90 percent of the population ever so fearful of the RADIATION being emitted by another cell tower
Id say the price differential would have to be...BRIBES...necessary in Califonia
