Gee I THOUGHT I read somehere that low voltage cable like doorbell wire
wasnt allowed to be ran alongside power lines.

I think you are referring to situations where people run the low voltage
cables (telephone, computer, door bell, intercom, alarm systems etc.)
through, say, the same holes in joists as the electrical wiring etc,.
So in that case they are alongside, in parallel and in contact with the
insulated electric wires.
Usually doesn't cause a problem but it's not good practice? Separate holes
and separation of at least a few inches is wiser.
