Today I noticed one of those cranes in front of my house. I figured the town was trimming my palm tree, and thought nothing more of it. Went out to the front yard this evening after dark, and my entire front yard is lit up bright. They installed a friggin powerful street light on the power pole. That lovely darkness out front, from which to star gaze at night, is now gone. I can hardly make out a star or planet now. SOBs!
I'm tempted to get out a .22 with a scope and take care if it.
Could this be a cause of action, interfering with someone's enjoyment of their property?

Is the light bulletproof? Lots of vandalism these days! Do it from half a block down the street.

If this was done by the town, I know the Mayor well, and will give him a call.

They make lights that are directional that cast the light straight down. They have one on my street at the intersection.

It’s for “your safety”. 😉
It’s not easy seeing a mob of Haitians in a pitch black neighborhood so they’re simply trying to shine a light on those people in your neighborhood who might be forced to defend themselves against the invading hordes…to protect the invaders.

Could this be a cause of action, interfering with someone's enjoyment of their property? They probably read your stance on the Ann Coulter thread and are retaliating.

Most likely nothing can be done about having the light there, but you can do something about the type of light it is. I'd start local and be nice. Escalate as needed. https://www.darkskysociety.org/handouts/idacodehandbook.pdf

That's a good point, I forgot about dark sky compliance in some states as being a requirement. They may have to shield the lighting by code and just haven't.
