People would really "'get on' a burger"? Never heard that expression - I don't want to be on my burger, it would get squished! Is that a California thing?

I don't understand why many beautiful places do not have underground utilities.
I watch those home and garden shows sometimes and the people will rave about the "million dollar view" and all I can see are all the power lines.
Yes, I know it would be expensive to redo old, established places. But, I'm so thankful that I've mostly lived in places with underground utilities.

Shifting ground, high water table, and old cities and towns - I have always lived places with above-ground lines!
