All new development shall use underground utility services
I'm all for it. I'm tempted to write the city/county on it now that its become a major discussion point.
Actually, all the new development I see down here has lines going underground. In fact, for my area, there are no overhead lines visible except for the really high voltage stuff. During Frances we still lost power because, somehow, those lines ended up going down. I kind of wish I'd been around to see it, too -- they're the lines that you can hear in the rain so it had to be a spectacular explosion when they dropped! Sizzle.
Damn, I love high voltage.
