It seems kind of primitive to have power lines just hanging on poles, right?

Bit unsightly too

Is it just a cost issue and is it actually significant when considering the cost of power loss on society (work, hospital, food, etc)?

    It costs less to maintain poles in high density areas than it would to burry them and have to close off entire neighborhoods.
