Neighbors in Tampa’s Bayshore Beautiful neighborhood are pushing back against multiple 5G towers in their neighborhood.
“I had absolutely no notice at all, just one day they started digging,” Solomon said.
A similar 5G pole sits a mile away in the same neighborhood.
“It’s hideous and concerning,” said Leslie Thomas, who lives nearby. “I would have less internet speed, and I work from home, than have that close to my kids’ bedrooms.”
Deeper into the neighborhood, Morgan Watts has learned of plans to install a 5G Verizon tower next to her home.
“I’m upset that I don’t have any say so. I’m upset that when I asked questions, the only thing I was told back was they’re safe. Which, in my research, the jury’s out. Even the World Health Organization’s official statement on 5G is that this new technology is still under investigation,” Watts said.
Tampa Resident Launches Petition After 5G Cell Tower Built Next To Home
Watts said, “We have seen what other places are doing to protect their citizens. We want to know what our elected officials are doing to protect us? Until those questions are answered, homeowners should have the right to know they won’t come home to find a 5G pole in their yard.” To read and sign Watt’s petition click here for more information.
