Buyer Backed Out Due to Powerline Nearby

[Denise Madrid]

Well, my partner and I just got word that our buyer backed out of our flip property today because they found out that there is a powerline near the house and they have a newborn on the way. They did research and found out that it isn't safe to raise children around a powerline. Guess it's back to the drawing board. Has anyone experienced this?

Without wanting to get off Denises topic it is fascinating that this issue, whilst not conclusively "proven" are decades of studies is still something almost every government in the world warns people about. I guess they are all avoiding getting sued if the hammer ever falls.

Given the obesity problem in this country (U.S.), it's difficult to believe that most people really care about their health very much...they won't live near power lines, but give no second thought to the bacon double cheeseburgers...

Sorry to continue taking this thread off-topic... :)
