I disagree, Livinincali. My neighborhood is over 65 years old and thus, we were “here first.” as were the rest of our “brethren” neighborhoods. Existing unburied overhead lines or no, it is what it is and we are frequently/likely “coastal” in location. We should not have to subsidize the Lizardland inhabitant hshld (more often with A/C as well as backyard pool). IT’S NOT OUR PROBLEM that other ratepayers chose to live in lizardland. Many of us ALREADY PAID OUR DUES IN THIS LIFE and wish to retire with utility bills reflective of OUR OWN USE USAGE ONLY, NOT that of subsidizing a family of five who can’t manage to turn off their lights or TV’s they aren’t using.
In other words, the “infrastructure” was always there for ME. Why should I pay for it over again when my infrastructure was paid off in 1962?? What about YOU? Your choices are YOUR problem …. not mine.

So you mean when Chula Vista blew up the 1950’s era fuel oil power plant a couple years ago you shouldn’t have to pay for the replacement power plant to provide you power (you paid for that plant but now it’s gone and has to be replaced because it doesn’t last forever). Maybe you should get no power since you aren’t contributing to the new power plants that need to be built to replace the old power plants that were inefficient and at the end of life. How do they replace the power generated by San Onofre which was a lower cost nuclear power plant?. With more expansive Solar farms and other renewables but you shouldn’t have to pay for that either. LOL.
