Oh, guess what!??  We are definitely leaving cemetery's in!  ;D ;D

Fair enough.  Just curious, why is Baker Ranch given the same 2 for proximity to cemetery as parasol park? Unless I'm imagining things, we're quite far away

I think YellowFever's general premise is a good one, giving more awareness to hazards in relation to proximity.  I was just doing some random googling and came across these articles

First article talks about the health hazards of living next to freeway, airport, railroad, all of which coincides with YellowFever's chart

Second article talks about the potential health hazards of living near gas stations as more research is done on the health affects of these vapors.  Also mention car repair shops and probably why there are so few mechanic shops in Irvine.  Adding gas stations will definitely be too much work, but if there is a hazard there, then there's a chevron on sand canyon next to woodbury...another 76 next to eastwood and parts of northwood etc haha

In that case, we should divide PS in two parts: east of portola parkway,PS1, and west of portola parkway,PS2. Otherwise, PS is facing double whammy. When it comes to landfill, even though only a small part is closer, entire PS is being labelled as close to landfill (Some of the parts are same distance as other neighborhoods). Also, when it comes to cemetery, PS is considered as very close to cemetery (Although some parts of PS are equidistant to SG to cemetery).
 
The amount of cell towers in Irvine seems to pale in comparison to other cities.  Way more towers in surrounding Irvine cities.  Santa Ana and Costa Mesa looks stacked with them.  If this really is a concern they should be all dead by next year.

I think the Cell Tower hazard should be removed from the spreadsheet.  It isn't really a hazard for a majority of its given village, right?  Only the homes really close to the tower are really affected, correct?

Cell towers are everywhere, we know that.  So this one's typically hard to measure risk.  The way I was measuring it was if a certain neighborhood had a "registered" tower which is classified as over 200ft in height, (like the new one in EW), it is high risk, especially if you're living 50 feet from it!!  Bigger towers have more energy and serve more calls than a puny little tower.  I think that's a reasonable conclusion to make.

But cell towers that are "non-registered" which is classified as below 200 ft. are usually shorter and most likely pose a lot less risk.  So the way I equate it was if you had 1 or 2 small towers, you had very low to medium risk.  If you had 3 small towers in the same neighborhood, you are probably at the same high risk as 1 big 200 ft. tower. 

When you look at the maps, the neighborhoods like Irvine Business Complex and Westpark had a crapload of these small towers spread all over the place.

Lately, the new neighorhoods like EW, they are just building one big giant one (200ft.+)

> 200ft on a cell tower? Are you sure about that? Also, beam forming ...
 
Just curious, what is the hazard/risk from the railroad? if it's air pollution, isn't there already a column of air pollution?
