1. Many cities have already started moving power lines underground.

2. In new development areas, they are already underground by default.

3. Underground is probably for the best but I’m still a bit sad as chaotic power lines give a certain charm to some streets in Japan. But, hey, understandable.

4. Yes! Please plant trees in place of those utility poles!
