[TowerTalk] Deed _protection_ for antennas using CC&R's

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

It's a slow day here so I just can't resist...  :-)


NEIGHBOR "Man those unsightly towers and antennas certainly depress our property values around here."

HAM "Oh, I didn't realize that was an issue. How much loss do you think you will suffer when you sell your place?"

NEIGHBOR "It's hard to say, but probably in excess of 10%. That would be at least a 40,000 dollar loss for me."

HAM "Hmmm... I see... so if I remove my tower and antenna system you will see an immediate 40,000 dollar profit?"

NEIGHBOR "Yeah, about that."

HAM "I see. Okay then, I see there are two choices here. I can continue to enjoy my hobby or I can take those unsightly towers and antennas down. Are you willing to split that 40,000 dollar profit of I take them down?"

NEIGHBOR "Huh?"

HAM "But you need to know I'll need my half up-front to help offset my expenses and acquire a new hobby."

Hank,
Adjacent blocks with similar homes and no towers went up in the same manner.

Ciao OT Gordon,

Your data doesn't support your position.  Your data simply says 
values went up with your towers in place.  Just because values went 
up does not mean that they would not have gone up more if your towers 
had not been there.  You/we simply have no way of knowing.
