Maybe you have gotten blind to it? When I first landed in Palo Alto (coming from Europe), I couldn't believe my eyes: 3rd world infrastructure with wires flying everywhere! I most definitely noticed and notice. It's symptomatic of some of the ill that plague Sillicon Valley.

Overhead power / telecom lines (and cable car power lines) have always been a thing in America. Adding fiber and additional infrastructure hasn't really made it uglier. It would be different if we had buried power lines to start with.
