Why did leadership NOT put Electical underground? Obvious preventive action to reduce damage to annual winds & fires Some of those transponders & electrical equipment has been there since 1950.

Cost I imagine , I wanted to put two poles underground and PGE quoted me $100,000 for just the two poles !

A little hurricane reminder

Maybe yet another reason they left Palisades without an emergency water supply? Just yesterday I heard Newsom use the phrase "Build back better" in an interview.

Because they need to spend billions on housing and paying illegals….. That’s more important to Newsom.

$31B to support criminal illegal aliens was more important..

You raise an important issue. Underground lines would not be prone to wind and fire damage.

Very good question, underground utilities no issues

Yes. All the money CA have gotten. Infrastructure is so outdated.

@GrantCardone burying overhead lines is on the local power company, not government. That said, I’m sure governing leadership could have made it happen, if they cared.

When something seems like extreme incompetence, it's because it was planned. Now they will get truckloads of federal bail out money to build their smart city. Many people won't be able to rebuild because of no insurance coverage. Pay attention to what happens next.
