That,
Gentlemen, is called "pricing yourself out of the market". A tactic used
when they just don't want to be bothered..

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.
