<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Factors for locating a school would be
similar for selecting a site for a homestead: is the land
available? are there some nice trees or other features to
moderate weather extremes? perhaps water availability as well as
protection from flooding? where's the bulk of the existing
population? where does the person or church/mosque/temple etc that
sponsors the education exist/reside? <br>
<br>
Similarly for communications towers: land availability, road
access for building it, adjacency to population and other towers,
protection from flooding, absence of hills/mountains that would
block transmission, not on a sacred site. <br>

then how do people decide where to locate these and other such
