Destroying the re-sale value of a taxpayer's property is not a legitimate reason.

mean, I get it...it sucks, but it sounds like Entergy had pretty good reasons for why they couldn't place the pole in other locations.


This is bullshite. There are always other options. This is some asshat at Entergy not wanting to waste time to figure out a new location because of 1 resident.

I find it hard to believe they couldn’t figure out how to put it in front of the vet office.

Nor did they receive anything stating that a Sequoia would be planted in front of the house. The least Entergy could do was make it look like a tree.

It's not technically on his property, but the placement has definitely lowered the value should he decide to sell the home.

Turn off the porn. His wife looks lovely, he looks like a normal, law abiding adult.

I'm going to drive by this thing tomorrow I'm so second hand mad for this guy. It's an eyesore just about anywhere, much less right in front of someone's house.

Plenty of room for a utility pole between the meter and the driveway. That is, for a normal sized pole. Not that monstrosity that has no business in a residential area.

Plant a couple of Silver Lace Vines at the base of pole.

The homeowners would be best off trying to hide the pole by planting some shrubberies around it.



Sounds right. Trimming the shrubs usually make to pole look bigger
