If safety was really the issue, local governments would require permits to
plant (and annual inspections) for *TREES*.
Falling trees cause far more injury and damage, than falling towers of the same
height...

Far from it. Indeed, exactly the opposite. The building department quite
properly required that you provide engineered drawings showing that what you
proposed to install was safe. They would be out of control if they FAILED to
do that. And you DID get a deal. I've been a (sound system) design
consultant for 20 years. My current bill-out is $150/hr, and I won't sign
anything I haven't checked myself. I'm NOT a PE, but I am a professional. :)
