I would venture it has the same issue that you have down here in rural
Tennessee: it's outer nowhere.  Plus you need a real good reason for wanting a
mammoth tower like that in your yard ... 99% of people would say "no No NO!",
leaving the 1% to be people ... like us.

I saw a similar tower site near the TN/KY border in the middle of nowhere
listed  for under $10,000 with a couple of acres of land on a hilltop in the
not too distant past.  I was interested enough (and it was only 80 miles from
here) that I went and took a look -- nice spot.  And I wondered how much it was
going to cost for the demolition and removal of a mammoth, decaying, rusted out
40 year old AT&T Long Lines tower as I drove back to Knoxville, no longer
interested...
