The Baton Rouge Metropolitan Planning Commission is a joke. Everyone's pretty much on the take in some form or fashion. They rarely deny a developer what he wants. I remember asking my local councilman once why does he keep supporting all of the developments regardless of their impact on surrounding citizens. Why not be in opposition like your constituents? His response was he didn't want to be sued by a developer. And if what the developers proposed was "legal" and met code then there was nothing they could do, except rubber stamp them through the process.
The political machine of Baton Rouge and EBR Parish needs a complete reset.

I know a lot of people have strong opinions about the 5G towers and I am not going to debate one side or the other but for the purpose of illustrating what was said above, the council knew where these towers were going to go up and they had no problem with not giving homeowners a heads up if they were about to have a tower installed in their front yard. Didn't make it public and said not a word about it until people saw them getting installed. Now again, they would give you the info if you asked but since no one talked about it no one knew to ask. Just another example of rubber stamping things without the public having a true say.
