Parks are created for any number of reasons. So long as the current owners of the land are fairly compensated and then some, I see no problem with it. The outer suburbs surrounding me all have dark skies ordinances, street lights and retail lights have to be shielded to project light downward to avoid light pollution. I miss seeing the Milky Way, I don’t object at all. I went on vacation to the northern Outer Banks last month, pretty remote to the point that cell reception is questionable, and it was glorious at night. I’d forgotten how awesome it is.
No one ought to be compensated for NOT wastefully shining lights UP into the sky.
There is always some fool bringing North Korea into these discussions. I wasn not aware that wasting energy by shiningg lights into the sky is the sign of an advanced society. Seems that putting light only where needed is smarter. And results in smaller electric bills.
