And just how is that wire getting to that dock in the first place?  I'd
venture a guess in all but a few cases the line is quite likely to already
BE in the ground.  It could be aerial, but unlikely as that would negatively
affect the view.

But cry me a fucking river when someone with waterfront and a dock starts
whining about possible costs.

B.O.A.T, if you own one you already know what this means.   Thus paying even
to have a whole new run laid would be a pittance.

So, you're just hell bent to find excuses to whinge about it, right?

Much like your motivations, apparently.
