I doubt it. This is a highly populated, but rural area. Building heights
are also regulated as is the minimum size for a lot in many areas. We're
also seeing more "green areas" required to limit housing density (Urban
sprall) They are looking at going to 4 to 6 acres per home (single family
dwelling).

Here building height is limited and it's far less than ham towers. In the
newer subdivisions the homes are farther back from the lot line than they
are tall. Only in town and older rural subdivisions do you find them close
to the lot line.
Power poles are lines are regulated by the state. 4 days ago I spent 7 hours
without power because they allow the power lines so close to the road. A
semi backing out of a driveway busted one of the ploles off on the other
side of the road.
Here any ham tower 80 feet and under requires no permit, nor will you get
one if you ask. You need a permit to put a small shed on a concrete slab,
but none for a tower base and guy anchors that take much more concrete.
