This last weekend I was at a beautiful home in Sterlington, La on Baron Road. Not only are some of these gorgeous (obviously in millions in cost) homes something to behold, but they're built near high power lines. I mean that type on towers that transport energery over long DX's.

Is this a concern?

Also the road in that nieghborhood is all grey gravel and requires 5 mph driving to reduce dust. No real big issue since paving the road shouldn't be a big deal.

What would be the concern? If you think emf is causing cancer it’s not…

It's the low-tension ones you have to worry about.

It causes people that will buy your house to add an instant negative, high tension or not.

I’m not an electrician, but to me, “high tension” are 200’ towers that have so much electricity flowing through them that they buzz when it rains or when there is super high humidity. Fields of Indiana are full of them.

Whether they do or don’t cause cancer, I can say that the houses in this suburb of Atlanta sit on the market a lot longer if they’re close to hi-volt lines. And the damn lines are all over the place up here.

I noticed that Duck Dynasty Willie Robertson's is behind a substation.

My house is $1mil+ and is directly on high voltage lines. They're ugly as can be. Been there 10 years and tbh after about 2 or 3 months I've never noticed them since. No issues at all other than esthetics. If it weren't for power lines I'd have a house in my backyard- not sure which is worse

Having power lines does mean you don’t have neighbors on your fence!

And no matter what kind of wire is back there, women will freak out.i had coax and phone cable strung behind one house I was selling, and the agent said the wife was afraid of cancer. Some people are just retards.

a HUGE set of lines cuts directly thru Country Club of LA, or maybe CCLA was built around them. Regardless they are there and it ain't pretty

If you are close enough you can run your florescent light bulbs for free. So it's got that going for it.

On a good foggy morning with a lot of moisture in the air it will sound like they are frying eggs

It reminds me of when was installing A/V in a new, fancy arse neighborhood near barksdale (Wolf and Subzero types in the mid 90s).

The homeowner was openly talking about going to the government to ask to get the flight paths of those “big, loud planes” changed. ROTFL
