The eyesore part of it is being so clean and nice, give it a week it will get tagged up, stickered, lost-dog notices, and will look like a regular NYC street pole in no-time!

[Emmanuel_Rivera]

People are gonna start complaining that the wave lengths from the tower are giving them health problems.

[CrimsonEclipse]

I doubt it being an eye sore is an issue because the whole area is an eye sore.

[Happyhocus]

It just suddenly appeared in the morning, quickly and stealthily. Yeah, nothing to worry about, this is why no one was told about it.

[Gdwin]

You know who made out? The company that has a contract with the City.🙄

[LYRICALLETHAL]

It's ALOT of people complaining about passing out and nose bleeds all of a sudden

[Ghanjah-Man]

They should have put those things on top of the tallest building's in the city

[PomegranatesWeather]

Interesting they putting up in black and brown neighborhoods first 😬🧐😵😵‍💫🤨

[anthonystark]

“”Who did you meet with? because it wasn’t with me” she’s talking like she speaks for the whole neighborhood

[InternacionalBoxing]

Yea the community board, you know the people that actually show up aka the hipsters etc. They are in tune with what is being proposed and make decisiom for you in your own neighborhood because ya'll too busy saying rip takeoff

[adamderose]

someone needs to graphitti it so it fits in

[soneerodriguez]

Trying to kill is with radiation undercover smh 🤦‍♀️

[djudahp]

I remember a news story about one of those being placed inside an elementary school grounds and all of sudden, lots of kids and teachers started getting cancer at too high a rate to be a coincidence.

Someone should get an EMF meter and measure the output and reference the reading against FTC guide lines prior to Obama changing the rules. If cancer from sun exposure is bad, imagine what it would be if the sun was right next to you? And the sun does produce electromagnetic frequency.

[deviousdd]

He is talking about it being an eyesore, but there is grafiti all over the walls, and a corner liquor-store. People should be talking about that not a celular tower.

[paveltkachenko]

Break that antenna. It is not in the peoples favor.

[bog]

The AI robots that will try to take over need the 5g, 5g cant go thru walls. they upgrading fiber optics to 5g. So when the AI killer robot comes knocking unplug all routers or shut power to house down. This will be usefull later. they need your router to have 5g so they can operate inside buildings.

Don't worry you can sleep soundly knowing that these towers won't be installed in a rich white suburb.

[drivenmad]

How it looks does'nt concern me nearly as much as what it will do to your brain.

“Free” internet means monitored internet
