A lot of it is just because we have lots of trees and overhead power lines. And lines are *incredibly* expensive to bury.

I was outside talking to a neighbor last night whose house was smushed by a humungous tree in Irma...needless to say she can’t live there while all kinds of work is being done rebuilding 1/2 of the house. She’s having some trees taken out this week and I looked around and asked why there weren’t any wires of any kind running to the house. She said they were all underground and it was like that when they bought the property. I knew their cable was but I never thought about the lines before. I wish ours (phone/electric/cable) were. Blasted squirrels chew through the wires and cause all kinds of trouble. GA has more trees and LINES I swear than any other state...Just one street can have so many lines criss-crossing from one side to the other that it would be enough to cover the entire country. We removed 40 trees from our property when we came here and the owner of the vacant lot next door just had 50 removed....
I’ll amend that to - MORE trees, lines and squirrels!!!!
