It seems kind of primitive to have power lines just hanging on poles, right?
Bit unsightly too
Is it just a cost issue and is it actually significant when considering the cost of power loss on society (work, hospital, food, etc)?

My neighborhood, built from bare dirt about 30 years ago, does, as do the other neighborhoods and commercial sites built here since then.
The answer is always money, though. It’s cheaper to put wires up on poles, so that’s how it was done. It’s expensive to move them underground, so the wires stay up on poles.
