This author would (apparently) argue that his property rights allow him to shine light on his neighbor's property. He is incorrect in the belief that the concept of regulating light pollution is somehow "anti-property." The determination of whether something is or is not light pollution falls under nuisance law which, as a legal concept, is practically as old as the concept of a property "right" itself.

So true. For a number of years, I had a "street" light, which was located around the corner and two buildings away from me, that blazed in my 3rd floor bedroom window all night. Either I was kept awake by the light, or had to block it with a solid sheet of foam core (the light went right through "room-darkening" shades) and be deprived of the natural pleasure of awakening to daylight. Fortunately, my municipality replaced the lights with a type that points light at the street.
