Or pick the house with wires in front of it without even thinking about it?

A "gaggle" of wires right in front of my master bedroom window? Yea sure, sounds bad. I doubt I'd notice until I bought the place though, that's how little I care.
I don't have a gaggle though. The power lines, which run on the opposite side of my street, run an electric line and a cable across the street and to the corner of my house, roughly in the middle of the my second floor. The lines then run down a skinny gray pvc pipe down the side of my house and into my basement. You can barely see any of this through the tree right in front of my house. I never thought so much about power lines before, but now that I have, the gray pvc pipe bothers me more than the lines themselves. And even then, the amount it bothers me is hardly at all.
But I did say all things being equal, I'd rather bury them if for no other reason than it is more reliable. So sure, bury them when the time is opportune and the cost is low. But in general, all things are not equal and considering I don't care about power lines, I'd rather spend that money on roughly a million other things.
I don't see what is so hard to grasp. They don't bother me.
