No worries, underground would be amazing everywhere, but all the money, upkeep, etc. can be astronomical.

Even the ground above the pipes should be kept clear of vegetation so that roots don’t penetrate or shift conduits, now another added cost.

I get the idea the OP is trying to spin, but it just isn’t feasible.

I currently live in texas and almost everything is buried underground. Assumed that wasn't a concern.
