No one wants a propane tank around, unless it's absolutely necessary.

From an operating cost perspective, sure. If you are implying they (house size
propane tanks) aren't safe, there's no evidence of any problem that I'm aware
of.

Its kind of a moot point anyway, because you aren't likely to have a propane
tank if natural gas is available. The cost savings from using natural gas would
pay for the pipe to the street in no time.

Also, think resale time. A house without a propane tank is going to be
more attractive than one with it.

Again, a moot point. If you have to have propane, so will all your neighbors.
The choice isn't between propane and natural gas, its propane vs. all electric.
You'll have far more difficulty selling an all electric home.
