jetee once you read the arguments for the ban you will relaise that its not about neighbourhood visual compliance.
these days, minarets arent used as often as before because technology has taken over with the call to prayer. whereas before it required someone to go up there and make the call, these days there are automated calls to prayer on loudspeakers atop of minarets.
that being said they are still used by some mosques.
under islamic jurispudence, with or without a minaret, the call to prayer needs to be made though and is an obligation on the mosque or congregation before the start of the prayer
