Hi guys, I had a question regarding high voltage power lines and living in close proximity to them. I have heard that it is "bad" to live close to them for they can cause health related problems to people and may even cause cancer. Does anyone know if this is true or and urban myth? And if it is true, then why are houses being built very close to them? There is a new sub-division where I live and the lines are within 100ft of the backyards. The homes are over 2500 sq/ft and start in the mid 300,000's it is a very nice neighbourhood but are those lines a potential disaster?
