Anyone who was in Urayasu in March 2011 knows exactly why these wires are above, and not underground.

It was 3 years before all the gas, water, and sewage lines were fully repaired there! Everything in the reclaimed sections of town was either damaged or destroyed, but the electric wires were generally A-OK.

Japan looks so third-world with all these wires everywhere.
