I think maybe you're on thin ice with aesthetics.


Absolutely not.

When something is obviously beneficial to society, we tend to accept
it visually.


Except that this isn't.

Secondly, people don't make purchasing decisions based on things being
"beneficial to society". They do so based on their pocketbooks and
that's it.


Radiators spring to mind. Horrible things. Spawn of the devil. Another
wall where you cant pout a bookcase or a sofa.



Telegraph poles, electricity pylons etc. It could become viable here
if prices drop far enough and we'll have to learn to love the new
landscape. We could paint faces on the water tanks and give them names


Yeeessssss......


Bloody ugly things water towers. Why they just don;t heap up household
rubbish into a sort of long barrow, and put a tree ringed reservoir on
top beats me.
