[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?]

Underground high voltage cabling is easily 10-100x the cost per meter of overhead cabling.
If a 900km powerline costs $2.4 billion, the same distance of underground cabling would be will over $200 billion.
