Already three neighborhoods are in the works: Ridgeview-Webster in District Four, Golden Hill in District Three and Mount Hope in District Nine. The surge follows a major delay since the pandemic and new contract negotiations with San Diego Gas & Electric, which funds the undergrounding in a partnership with the city. Right now, residents in San Diego pay a sur charge of three and half percent on their SDG&E bill. However, the debt has ballooned by hundreds of millions of dollars, so they are moving quickly to try and shrink that number by increasing the number of projects designed, approved and completed each year. Beyond the unsightly look of above ground utility lines, they can also be a fire hazard, especially in urban areas like canyons. While putting the lines underground does raise property values, the work comes with a hefty price tag of about $8 million per mile. According to the city, there are about a thousand miles left to go. -- We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that stupid people won't be offended.
