What's with this hostility to star-viewing?

Hey, I'm all for lighting the ground, but what's the point of lighting up space, or air a mile up? Looking for something up there? :)

I live near the Mt. Palomar observatory in Southern California, in a area that was developed less than 15 years ago (Temecula Valley) and the street lighting is designed so that no light goes up (unless you count the lighted ground). I'm sure that a high altitude photo would hardly pick it up. Population 125,000.
