[context: I’m in a small city of 6k people. This stupid town is known for constant power outages due to high wind and snow. Are they stubborn or is it really that hard to switch this small town to underground power so we stop having power outages anytime someone even sneezes?]

We have underground cabling in my town of 7000 and practically never get power cuts. That being said there were a series of strange power outages here recently and to replace a busted underground cable takes a lot longer (leaving you with no power longer) than overhead lines and also requires them to dig big holes across people’s gardens.
If the underground cables are why we very rarely lose power then I think it’s worth it but there you go. Also probably more expensive.
