Driving down the DVP I noticed there were a few condo/apartment buildings with cell phone towers on them.
They are not the most attractive things either attached to a side of the building on the roof edge, but I am concerned about how close these things are installed to people's unit's, with some just above their window or balcony.
I came across this article this morning:

A few years ago my last condo was approached by a cell phone carrier asking if they could install a cell phone tower on the top of my building. My HOA board quickly declined as it was unattractive (there's a rooftop deck), will be a disruption to the building when they install it, and they were only offering to pay less than $1,000 a year to use the rooftop.
I highly doubt any newer condos will take up this offer, but I am sure older condos with mounting maintenance (like the ones along the DVP) would be tempted to do so.
