Stowe just buried all its power lines on Main Street. It was a huge 2 year project and was super expensive. Is it really nice now? Yeah. Is it realistic to expect every line in vt to be buried? Absolutely not and even stowe still has a majority of its lines not downtown on towers.

Makes sense in a place that is all about "place" like that.

Generally only makes sense for densely populated areas or new suburban developments where they are already digging everything. Otherwise the cost is spread amongst too few people to be worthwhile.

Historical areas grants plus old money plus the middle of town isn’t completely a slab of granite.
