Wondering if these are major obstacles for selling houses with power lines/poles right next to the backyard. What are the implications or this is normal? I personally would avoid such houses when buying. Tc - 212
Same question
I would worry more about that house falling down first.
Besides the fire risk in an event of tornado etc., these power lines cause radiation which is not good, specifically for elders and children.
Any scientific studies or you read that on Fb?
There are lot of scientific studies. As a matter of fact you can buy a radiation meter and check it out yourself.
Sounds like a personal hang up. Where are you going to find buried utilities on the west coast with a house / development of that era? Iād tell you to get real. Utilities will most likely be overhead, unless youāre in a planned community or apartment, in either the front or back of the property, take your pick.
Even in the crazy boom market houses close to power lines took longer to sell and sold for less. Itās like a shit stain that will never go away no matter how much lipstick you put on that house.
Then tell the picky people to just live without power, then. Next thing you know, no one will want a car with an engine because theyāre āloudā and ādirtyā.
Not major, but an obstacle.
I won't buy it.
Those are residential lines, not high voltage. Itās fine
These are on every street corner in cities
That sucks, avoid
