@Schouten_B@timoj To be fair, in many newer developments in Vermont, they are burying all the utilities when they are building out the lots. However, I live in a development of around 70 homes built mostly in in the 1960s and 1970s.
Amusingly, if I walk to the end of one road in our neighborhood, I reach a point where 8 or so homes were added maybe 20 years ago. And... ta da.. the wires dive down from the poles and go underground for those few homes. 🙂
