While surfing this site and looking at all the nice modern houses in Japan, it really annoyed me that the streets are full of electric poles and electric/telephones wires are spanning the sky around every single house.
Aren't they supposed to be a technologically advanced nation?
Can't they hide these ugly wires and cords somewhere underground,
instead of letting them block every nice view?
Googled a bit and found one of the possible answers here.
