NIMBYism at its finest. Cupertino did not allow cell phone towers for a very long time. The only one was an ATT tower on the top of Infinite Loop, right on the Sunnyvale border.

The people who would call their provider about bad cell coverage in their house are the same people that would go to city hall and demand that no cell towers be built in the city.

It’s amusing seeing Cupertino city council transcripts about this because the people show up claiming 5G gives them cancer and the city council desperately tries to get them to use better excuses so they can approve denying it.

Makes a change from the city council members usual practice of denying Vallco permits and claiming Apple employees are hiring prostitutes and molesting high school students. (I did not make this up.)
