I searched diligently for an alternate location, and was told by my landlord I'd be out on the street in 30 days if I did not sign a 3-5 year lease. The towers went live the last month of my occupancy before I found an alternative location. SB City told me they had no control over the placement of the towers, only their aesthetics. My nervous system was highly impacted- I had a hard time sleeping in the city therafter where RFR was more concentrated. In order to sleep at night, I moved to the mountains of Painted Cave away from the RFR fields. In 2019 when SB City decided to upgrade their Wireless Ordinance, I collaborated with local citizens in forming Safetechnology for Santa Barbara County to educate our local officials in the harms of RFR and how a well writtten ordinance is essential to give  the city planners the capacity to deny unneccesary and harmful cell towers from proliferating our neighborhoods.  My husband and I invested my own savings to hire the best attorney in the country for this endeavor: Andrew Campanelli  and our members met with our City Council regularly and made weekly public comment. We were successful within our City, and but our County has been a much more difficult hurdle.
