high tension power lines

~Lily~

Would you not consider a neighborhood because there are high tension power lines that run through it?  The house we'll be looking at is 2 or 3 streets over from the rows of power lines.  You won't be able to see the power line structures from the house, so from that standpoint I'm not concerned.  But, I'm not sure if power lines are contributed to cancer rates especially in children.  It seems hard to find solid evidence regarding it.

I've done that research on high tension wires and research on cell phone towers and there are agruments leaning both ways.

What I DO know for a fact is that all electricity gives off radiation. Even our alarm clocks, plugged into the walls, using that electric current, give radiation off. So, how many alarm clocks would you need to add up to the equivalent of high tension wires? A lot. And, that woudl be a lot of radiation.

There was a girl I knew who had some tool that measured radiation that she borrowed from her dad's place of work. They used to live right near high tension wires and her mom developed breast cancer. She went and measured the output with her tool. Apparently the levels were really high. But, perhaps not high enough to alert the governmental authorities...but we can always trust them anyways...

Now, I know that cancer can be caused by many things, and also genetics can play a role, so I'm not outrightly claiming that the electricity caused the cancer. But living your life next to things that put off so much radiation cannot be good for the long term.

Also, most people won't live near them either so you will probably have a hard time reselling if you ever have to go that route.

I grew up in a house that backed up to a meadow containing power lines.  We moved when I was in junior high, but as far as we are aware of, none of the neighbors we kept in contact with had any issues with cancer.  One thing my mom likes to comment about is the fact that all of the kids who's houses back up to the power lines were in the talented and gifted classes at school. 

 I wouldn't have any problem moving to a house with power lines in the neighborhood. Then again, our current house backs up to a highway.

It seems like all kinds of things can cause cancer. I wouldn't be concerned, especially since they're a few streets over.

We just bought a house that have high tension power lines running behind it. Besides from being an eyesore, we aren't concerned. We did a lot of research and there is no scientific evidence that shows a link between cancer and living near power lines.

Besides being an eyesore they wouldnt be a deal breaker for me. One of our homes has them (older neighborhood) and dh's parents lived there for 45 years. They are still alive and kicking as are most of their friends. They very old lady next door has cancer but she has many other issues as well. Most of the neighbors have been in the area for 30+ years without issues other then old age and they raised their kids there.

The house we made an offer on had power lines in the back yard. They were not the high tension lines but transmission lines which are larger than just normal power lines. I spoke to a gentleman at our local power company and he was able to provide me with information on how many kilowatts the lines was putting out. I was then able to research the exact amount. I also spoke to our home inspector who suggested he is normally only concerned if the lines are directly over the house. If they are in the back yard or many streets away then the concern isn't as high.

As a PP said though, its really personal decision. Some people would never live by power lines, others wouldn't care. My MIL made a good point though that if it bothers you, you can beat that when you go to sell it will bother other people too.

Nike shoes Monday night?s Clippers achievement over the Orlando Magic was bedridden by an Achilles? bond abrasion to Chauncey Billups, who is a big acumen the Clippers are 15-7 and in additional abode in the Western Conference.

On Tuesday, the Internet was abuzz with admirers pointing to Billups? abrasion as addition archetype of the ?Clippers Curse.?

One problem. There is no Clippers Curse.

Bill Walton had a alternation of bottom injuries during his seasons with the team.

Some alarm that a curse, but added teams alarm it a day in the activity of an NBA team.

Afterwards he averaged 17.4 credibility for the Clippers, they traded him to the SuperSonics for James Donaldson, Greg Kelser and Mark Radford. To be fair, the Clippers did abstract a approaching Hall of Famer in 1981: Tony Gwynn, who is in the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 1983, the Clippers called Byron Scott, again traded him to the Lakers.

I am looking to purchase in a neighborhood that has high tension power lines along the outskirts as well. What I found with my research is that you should live at least 400 feet away from the lines. Research shows these lines may cause leukemia in children and high rates of miscarriages. I saw many warnings saying for pregnant women to stay far far away. My husband and I decided it was bettervto be safe than sorry. We are still purchasing in the neighborhood, but as far away from the high tension lines than we can get. We have to buy a more expensive house bc it is in a different phase, but I think it's worth it.
