And that’s parcel owners, not residents. So if you have some trust sitting there for ages and the trustees live God knows where, you’ve got to track them down to vote as well.

So try getting 2/3s or whatever of all the owners in your neighborhood agreeing to pay >$2K year to underground.... what kind of organizing that would take. How do you convince holdouts, who are often very, very old and cash poor and don’t see the point, etc.?

Can you link to that? Last yr I tried to get a rough $ estimate to bury lines on our wooded property & was referred to a web calculator that provided range of $10K-$80K (
) and must must pay $5K for a closer ‘engineering estimate’.
