Parts are dense and then there are sections that look just like New England only without utility lines lol. Of course even in the dentist areas we don't bother to bury the lines and it makes a tragic mess. I remember in Manchester during the ice storm , perhaps 2012 ? the city was out on one large part of the west side for two complete weeks because trees took down the lines. Not to mention how ugly they are. Anytime you go to a town center south of the border the difference is immediately apparent in the town center or the main roads where the lines are buried.. It's just a matter of will and appropriation, one little stretch at a time
