Why wouldn’t a small city switch to underground power?

[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?]

Cost.

Buried cables are significantly more expensive. Then add in the disruption of road closures and outages to install.

If you’ve got a small population who is going to pay for it?
