Above ground electricity poles and wires are still ugly. In my opinion areas where the infrastructure is all buried are much more aesthetically pleasing and calming. It’s also safer. No risk of electrocution by downed lines or starting fires in windstorms.

In a previous apartment I lived at in one exploded about half a block away, blew the manhole cover off clear down the block (a few hundred feet) and lit on fire. There's still some risk. Maybe not as much, but weatherproofing is still hard.
