Honestly, I can understand why people don't want to pay more to bury the power lines. I moved here from Missouri and my parents and grandmother still live there. They live 10 minutes from each other. My grandmother lives in a newer subdivision with buried lines and my parents live in an older subdivision with traditional lines. My grandmother has had more outages than my parents. I have never seen that option as viable, especially considering that the lines in most cities are going to have to come above ground at some point unless you want to spend an absolute fortune on burying every single line in every single neighborhood, no matter the conditions of that neighborhood. Further, with as terrible as Pepco has been, who trusts them to handle more money and effectively bury the lines. They do a terrible job and then come around with their hands out, touting what they are doing to improve, which would have been the minimum standard to avoid a problem in the first place.
