Government is getting pretty creative in trying to micromanage people's lives.

I, for one, could go for this!
Contrary to what is said about most having 5-acre lawns w/little chance of “light pollution”, I say baloney!
We live on 20 acres and I like the night. However, city-type folks move out to the country and put up big ol’ city type lighting and I can read large newspaper print from one of them that’s a quarter mile away. The closest one belongs to some once-in-a-while folks who only come out 2 or three times a year but their property is lit up like a carnival all the year round.
I don’t consider myself a tree-hugger by any stretch (we burn wood) but all-night lights keep some kinds of night life (like whipporwills) away and also many of the larger moths which wrap their cocoons in leaves on the ground are attracted and then their larvae are raked up and burned or otherwise disposed of.
I don’t care how much light you have as long as you keep it on your premises. I don’t care to share.

Going for that “North Korean” effect.
