Re: Tail wagging the dog.
Lets be honest. 99% of it is "it looks bad/I don't want my garden dug up". I can agree with that sentiment, who wants their house being the one with the eyesaw.
I cannot agree with the falsehood of using any excuse, such as "radiation" when being honest and saying "could we put it somewhere it won't look an eyesaw" would be much more responsive and probably get more backing (such as working with the community to put them on things like Fire Stations etc).
