I live in a fairly liberal neighborhood in Atlanta called Grant Park. We have a fairly unusual fight brewing between some of my neighbors.
A guy got permission from the city to install a wind power tower on his property. I have no idea what this thing is going to look like, but I'm fairly certain that it isn't going to be too terrible. He's not going to want an eyesore on his own property any more than anyone else does.
Some of his neighbors are fighting him in court to keep him from being able to install the tower. I guess being liberal and environmentally conscious only goes so far. NIMBY and all.
It got me thinking, though. If people don't want to see them, why don't we put them somewhere people already think looks ugly, like the median of the freeway? With all the billboards, cars and whatnot all along the freeway, will a few 100 foot towers make it look any worse?
I wonder if there is a way to submit this suggestion to the city.
