That is a good point, Kurt. 75' of guyed Rohn 25 is a lot cheaper than a 
75' crank-up capable of supporting the same antenna windload :-)

They should have put an exception in the ordinance to cover the 
esthetically challenged areas of LA county:  "If any of your neighbors 
within a 500' radius of the center of your property have an old car 
sitting on cement blocks with no wheels or if more than 3 of your 
neighbors within the same 500 radius don't have any teeth, then you can 
put up whatever antennas you want"  :-)
