I don’t know the ratio, cables vs overhead lines, but overhead lines are very common in Europe as well. I deliberately didn’t use GDP per capita as it’s a flawed measurement. Have a look at these lists, not many US cities qualify. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_quality_of_life_indices https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_quality_of_life_indices So you can take your GDP per capita, that’s skewed to the rich anyway, and I’ll take my happiness.
