"I've been to remote parts of the desert and really have seen the deepness of the Milky Way. And I gotta tell you, it was breathtaking and very lonely...because I wasn't in civilization."

If people don't want to live near lighted areas, move away from the lighted areas. If people enjoy the hustle and bustle, bright lights and noise of the city, live there.
