It’s justified by power line maintenance and safety, right? Then the amount should be based on how many miles of power lines are running out to your house. That would make it more expensive to live out in the country, where the largest fire-related expenses already are, and cheaper to live in the city. Or we can keep subsidizing sprawl. We already spend billions protecting a few hundred homes from wildfires. Spend billions on freeway widening too. This is probably small compared to those other things.
