I would like to know how discrete these towers are.
I live in a cottage with a flat roof around 2 blocks from Ashby Bart.
There's also a bit of space behind it. The cottage is behind a main house,
off the street, and the area is gated, so it is very private.
I currently have my own Internet prepaid for a year - I'm just a big fan of
the mesh idea. You haven't really seen me yet because I had a big health
crisis a week and a half ago - if you want to joke about it, I almost died
trying to make my point to Berkeley City Council. XD (Don't worry, I'm fine
now,)
Anyway, I think access to the Internet is one of the most important things
for low income people to have after housing and food, and I would like to
enable it in South/West Berkeley. The place I have might be perfect
stashing tower. If it doesn't aesthetically harm the property and it's
nothing that could get him in legal trouble, I don't the landlord would
care. He lives in India and lets the tenants do just about anything they
want.
Perhaps Mitar should come over and scope it out?

So a friend of mine knows a guy in the Berkeley Hills
who is real nice.
I talked with him on the phone and suggested that he let us put up a tower
at his house, and use it for the mesh network, and give him free internet.
He said that sounds great but cautioned that his view is to the northwest.
His address is 1130 sterling ave, berkeley if you want to look at it on a
topographic map or even visit. If you want to visit, let me know and i'll
call him and coordinate a date when we can go over there. He owns his
house and is a nice guy.
There is a telescoping 90-foot tower in my driveway. I paid $100 for it
and Marc paid $45 in gasoline to go get it, and I don't think I have a
place to put it. If the mesh group wants to buy the tower and put it up
somewhere, for example at Charlie's place, that would work fine.
1130 sterling ave, berkeley
what do you think?
