Southern California Edison has an easement through the city of Chino Hills and they decided to use it. The easement is 60 years old, 150' wide and hasn't been used in the last 40 years. Unfortunately, neighborhoods were built next to the easements and now Edison has erected 200' tall towers that are 6' from some back yards. The lines will be strung with the use of helicopters and carry 500kv. Some of the residents are upset. Wait till they hear the hum. They won't be able to give their houses away.

I have been looking for a house in that area. The houses in the picture were valued at $750k in 2005, $450K three months ago and $0 now. Wow did I dodge a bullet.

You can afford a 750K home or for that matter even a 450K home? :eek:
