You couldn't be more wrong! The modern annals of the technical side of 
AM in the US are basically a litany of case after case in which 
neighbors have shot down tower construction. The most notorious case 
locally was the WXKS (AM)/WRCA/WUNR triplex in Newton, which spent 
about a decade in court. When KFI lost its tower because of a 
light-plane crash, it took Clear Channel the better part of a decade 
to get permission to replace the tower with a somewhat shorter version 
at the very same spot! If you are going to build any sort of AM 
facility in the Boston area in this millennium, you're going to need a 
cooperative AM station that is willing to have you as a tenant 
diplexing into its existing tower or towers.
