EPA rules state that the radon gas should be vented from the basement subfloor all the way to the roof with a fan that must be mounted above grade.
Why can't radon gas be vented out directly through the wall, just like a dryer vent, with the fan mounted in the basement?

Years ago, I saw one vented next to the intake for the HVAC system. The radon in the house actually went higher. As said by others, you have to get the radon where it can not come back in either your house or the neighbors house.

roof-venting keeps the gas from coming back in a lower-story window.

Your neighbor may not like that. It would be just as effective but it is required so that the gas is dissapated and not allowed to collect at another location.
