I am a cynic by nature – consider yourself forewarned.
The reason you won’t find anything negative about powerlines in the mainstream media is because of all the public schools that are built underneath high-voltage power lines. To acknowledge that power lines are a health issue would open up the government (city, state and federal) to numerous lawsuits.
Imagine what would happen if the FDA announced that being in close proximity to high-voltage power lines caused cancer!
Same issue with mercury/lead fillings in teeth. Anyone with more than 3 brain cells can see the health issue involved with putting two highly toxic substances into the human mouth. The ADA can’t acknowledge this health issue without exposing themselves to lawsuits – therefore they will always maintain that mercury/lead fillings are safe. (I have had all the mercury/lead fillings removed from my teeth and I will never poison my children in this manner.)
Remember that 90% of the media in the US is now owned by only 5 corporations. And one man, Robert Murdoch, controls a significant portion of these 5 corps. My point is that media in the US is tightly controlled and therefore it is easy to prevent unacceptable news from being aired or printed.
You’re obviously a thinking biped (as opposed to the mindless sheeple that populate most of this planet). The fact that you are asking questions about powerlines probably means your intuition is telling you that there could be an issue. Go with your gut and stay away from these hi-powered condos. Or at least make a serious effort to research the effects of power lines on the human body.
And now for my next rant, why would you want to pay $280K for a condo that will be selling for $120-140K within the next 5 years?
