Half of the towers in my town are outside of the zoning regime for location. Tower owners regularly deal with the issue and construct where appropriate.

In the case of my town, the location was absolutely perfect for my part of the town. The only catch was a massive douchebag across the street trying to sell their abomination multi million dollar home. So they took up the reign of "towers cause cancer! it'll fall down and set the day care not actually near where it would fall on fire and kill your children!" and shit like that.

A shitty website and a couple street fairs later and lots of mailers, AT&T noped out after listening to their bullshit at a town meeting about it and decided to put it elsewhere, which did not improve our neighborhood's reception at all.

And nobody still wants to buy the douchebag's house.

5G and subsequent generations of highest frequency band cell networks are likely to be on telephone poles.
