Realtor-speak notes: There’s a big difference between “vaulted ceilings” and ceilings that make you feel like you’re in a vault. Also, I’m still waiting to see a home listing advertised as being in a protected outage block. If I was selling or renting my place, that’d be at the top of my listing! I have seen Santa Clara homes advertised with “lights on in Santa Clara!”, but I wouldn’t say those were outage free, necessarily. Other city run utilities have shut off the lights. But while we’re on the subject, here’s some research on Santa Clara’s cheaper utilities: “The low rates are made possible by Santa Clara’s 101-year-old Utilities Department, which has purchased all of the necessary utility transformers and grids within the city limits. Santa Clara has been generating its own electric power since 1896, when the city constructed a lighting plant.” (from a MetroActive Best of)
