Are you from US? In Europe you see wires only outside of big cities.
I was surprised on my recent road trip across US that you've got wires in urban/suburban neighborhoods - even the richer ones like Palo Alto.
- godot 5y agoFrom what I've observed, wires outside almost entirely depend on how new the city is. Old cities have wires outside, new cities don't, that's really it; nothing to do with how rich they are. Palo Alto is an old city. I live in a suburb in Greater Sacramento that's a newer city and it's most certainly not as wealthy as Palo Alto -- not even as wealthy as some of the other towns in Sac -- we got no wires outside.
