Is municipal red tape at all a factor in PG&E's under-maintenance of its lines and equipment? I feel like CEQA lawsuits and municipal planning codes and committees are given as reasons why we don't have denser housing and more fiber-to-the-home and dedicated bus lanes in the bay area (the Van Ness CEQA report took something like six years to do). Do the engineers for AT&T and Comcast and PG&E find similar frustrations with the process here?
- mistrial9 8y agonice try -- cost-cutting by using sub-contractors to do legally mandated maintenance up and down northern California was well-documented. In addition, PG&E was found guilty of of obfuscating and avoiding legally required maintenance records for gas pipelines in the San Bruno case. Utterly unacceptable and sadly predictable.

Contractors are licensed by the state to operate in their respective trade. Making the claim that contractors do sub par work is just as much an indictment of the state for licensing them in the first place.
