yeah, the electric wires over and above my house are an eyesore, too. and occasionally a pain in the a** when they all get ripped off by haphazard free-growing trees! i push for a new form of "Tree Efficient" Urbanism, where there is less chance of a million people losing power for a week.

we could either:
A: hack down all the trees (don't think the granolas would go for this)
-or-
B: maybe spend the extra dough to put this ugly/dangerous crap underground?

ah well. one can dream...

Hi,

I believe GM was more interested in replacing trolleys with buses, rather
then selling cars during the great Depression.. Buses were perceived to be
more flexible, more modern and did not require dedicated lanes in urban
areas. The overhead electric wires were considered eyesores as well.

Different times,
