    I’m seeing a lot less of that these days, thankfully. Los Angeles had fake palm tree cell towers when I was there. They’re even worse.

      I live in LA and to be fair, palm trees are basically fake trees in the first place, they’re mostly non-native Q-Tips that give no shade. The cell towers should just cover themselves with billboards, they’d fit right in and make extra cash from the side hustle.

        I’m not a fan of the palm trees either, but a perfectly straight pole with fake leaves that do basically nothing to hide the fact that it’s a cell tower was even worse to my eyes.

        The craziest thing about billboards when I was in L.A. was the trucks driving around with billboards on them that were only being driven around because of those billboards. I guess the cost of a truck and fuel is still cheaper than paying for an actual billboard on Hollywood or Sunset.
