Anyway, so the key differences are very obvious, right? One is the ownership and motives, like publicly owned utilities serve the public interest rather than pursue profits, right? Private owned utilities are there for their investors and to maximize returns. Regulation and pricing. Public utilities are regulated by the government-appointed commissions that oversee pricing.

Private utilities are also regulated, but usually more flexible in a rate setting because what the hell you gonna do? Yeah, you gonna call the water company and be like, I ain't paying this bill. They gonna be like, cool, no problem. Service areas. Most public utility service customers are within municipal boundaries.

Investor-owned utilities often are defined by regional monopolies with little overlap or competition with customers. Listen, If you ever moved into an apartment and you was like, yo, I'm trying to like, you know, install cable. And they was like, or your internet. It was like, oh, it's AT&T over here. I was like, oh, but I have spectrum. They're like, spectrum don't serve this area.

Nigga, it's the internet. It's the air. It's wires. There's poles. I'm not allowed to, you can't come over here. Because it's a private company. Now I'm in a situation where AT&T knock on my door every day and being like, yo, we laying fiber optics. You know, we laying new pipes down here up under your street. We can move faster than Spectrum. I done ditched them both.

And then Spectrum still email me every day. Spectrum sent somebody who's like, we heard you left Spectrum. We're trying to figure out why. I'm like, nigga, because I don't want to use either of y'all. But we're the area you serve. When I first moved into the house that I'm in now, like I made a account on Edison and they were like, oh, nigga, Edison don't serve here. You have SoCal gas.

And I was like, who the hell is SoCal gas? They was like, that's who that's who else going to give me the gas. I don't have no options. I live in L.A. This is who serves L.A. infrastructure spending.

With public utilities, they might find it easier to raise funds for long-term capital projects and maintain infrastructure proactively while privately owned businesses and utilities answer to shareholders seeking returns, which impact investment decisions.

It will behoove the city of Los Angeles to fix this. And it will be easy for them because I am a Los Angeles resident. This is a public utility. If I have private water, they might be like, uh, how much money does that neighborhood give us? You know, if we fix the water up there in Palos Verdes, you know what I'm saying? Like, we got to talk to them because they, you know what I mean?
