Hams that have had an easy time co-locating equipment at various sites often time do not begin to realize just how lucky they are. In many parts of the country, sites are extremely difficult to come by and keep.
Municipal sites can be a real challenge because of liability and security concerns. It is even tough to get municipal equipment located on another municipal site around here. One comment I got from a former emergency management director was "if we let you locate your ham repeater at our site, we'll have to let all hams do the same." Then there's access issues, liability insurance requirements, electric use, etc. It can be a real nightmare. Private sector sites are just as bad. Most just say no. Some want outrageous amounts of money and require professional riggers to do tower work.
