Who is "we"? If the the author speaks for himself, I have no objection against
him moving to Fukushima or buying a house close to another nuclear power
plant. I'm sure there are people willing to sell and the price for real estate
in those areas has most likely dropped considerably in the last few decades.

I wouldn't be so sure about your implication that nuclear power plants reduce
property prices: "In each of the seven regions, housing and real estate values
have benefited from the operations of the nuclear facilities: total property
values, assessed valuations and median housing prices have often increased at
rates above the national and state averages. In each local area, housing
prices were several times higher than prior to the opening of the nuclear
facilities, and there is evidence that in Barnwell, proximity to the nuclear
facility may actually increase housing values.[1]"

For apparently no clear reason, nuclear power plants are often built near the
border. Usually people on the other side of the border usually don't profit in
whatever way from the power plant. The situation may be different if you live
on an island.

What makes me uneasy about this kind of call is that the situation at
Fukushima is ungoing, but we hear a lot of "the levels are ridiculous _right
now_, what you're scarred of?".

The people running away or worrying about the situation don't care so much
about the levels now. They care about the levels if/when shit happens, and
only use the radiation seen now to check how good things are handled. And for
now it's not as if tepco's engineers, as goog as they are, are yet mastering
the situation.

 I wouldn't be so indisputable about your implication that nuclear ability plants reduce 
 property prices: " In each of the seven regions, caparison and real estate values
