In Seattle the corrupt government made it illegal for anyone to use other forms of power so that everyone is forced to buy from the government controlled Electric Utilities. And then magically all the rates started to sky rocket!!

Then, when people started cutting back to save money, and they weren't getting as much they changed the billing practices to not be based on how much you used, but a flat fee for the service and then extra charges if you use over your allotment

When the local government seized control, we started to look for places closer to where we are from in the midwest. When all the big money smeared the mayoral candidate who wanted city wifi AFTER their councilmen just ran on the same platform, we decided to get the heck out of dodge.
