Some of Laguna's best views have them destroyed by power lines. I deal with this issue a lot. I am currently looking out toward the ocean and in the process am looking through power lines!!!
Certain areas have taken the first step and they have been placed below ground. Unfortunately, most areas have not. The homeowners need to realize that the benefits, from a standpoint of property values will far out way the costs associated.
Why do they not do it then? I understand from some homeowners that they can't afford to add them to their budget, but maybe they haven't had it completely explained to them. Yes, there would be inconveniences and costs. Those could never out way, not only the property value increase, but additionally the intrinsic value of the enjoyment of the better view!!! The city would have to be involved and that will also cost money for the city, but they would benefit from having a more tourist appealing town.
The argument from the city may be that they won't spend because they won't see the benefit, but they will. The better the views, the more tourism and property values increase and that translates into more tax revenues.
The end result of the expense would leave happier, healthier and more beautiful skylines and people. I love the views in Laguna, but I can see the potential, also. Oh, and there would be less power poles to run into!
Anywho, thanks for reading and if you see me wandering through Laguna in my little grey Subaru, please say hi!!! Cole
