I don't believe there are any known medical conditions resulting from
"visual pollution", which is more than can be said for other forms.

I reckon pandering to the hand-wringers who bitch and whine about
practical and efficient OHW, whether for trams or TBs, is where the
problem starts, with the shills and salesmen all standing by with
“ready made solutions” and orders waiting to be signed. This is
what has led to the APS farce in Sydney and this absurd debacle in
Wellington.
If places as diverse as San Francisco and Zurich can live with a bit
of copper hanging in the air it can’t be a real problem - looking at
wires beats breathing diesel exhaust.
