While I like underground electrical and would like to see more of it, home-buyers will have to be willing to pay for the installation in their neighbourhoods. They're going to see the cost come back to them in the form of an extra few thousand dollars on their home price.
Thats why the only other sub division i know of that has this is king william and well i think we all know why that is. The reason i think its not as popular here as the mainland city's is because digging here sucks basically rock the whole way, or a swamp no in between like in alberta and that.
