EPA = Amateur Astronomers' Protection Agency?
OK.
It kind of sucks that my front yard view is limited to Orion and about a dozen assorted stars, it's true that the Griffith Observatory looks a bit odd sitting right above Hollywood, and I have to drive over an hour to get a good sky view anywhere but W & SW from Point Fermin.
But unconstrained street lights (which could and should be better designed) bother me a lot less than the constantly blinking examples that account for about 10% of local inventory.
When I found that dusk to dawn 'security lights' only made it easier for someone to hit the far corner of my property I switched to downward slanting motion sensors - not because any owls were confused by the light (because they were having a field day before and still would be if my neighbor the rat farmer hadn't missed too many mortgage payments).
"Light pollution" may be a pain in the eyepiece but it does not endanger my health or any damn trash fish or forest dweller. Like sewer treatment plants and traffic signs, like property taxes and pot holes, it's part of an urban environment in a century when very, very, few of us are subsistence farmers and all the "proud savages" of yore are running casinos.
It's embarrassing to see someone on FR justify further government expansion for the questionable benefit of a small group or merely for nostalgia sake.
Did you ever see the Perseid Meteor Shower, the Pleiades, the "Double Cluster" in Perseus, the Andromeda Galaxy?
So do I, and yes.
