Sycamore Campfire Ranger Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 17,230 Arizona	Originally Posted by The_Real_Hawkeye 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? I was sure this was going to be about a drive-by shooting, by "norwegians" Aces is right, think of it as city-subsidized nocturnal kill-zone.

It depends on the state and local governments but some cities have light trespass laws and lighting ordinances. Dark Skies Initiative McDonald Observatory collaborates with local communities and businesses to promote nighttime lighting that keeps light on the ground and out of the sky. https://mcdonaldobservatory.org/darkskies Dark Skies Resources https://mcdonaldobservatory.org/dark-skies-resources DarkSky International https://darksky.org/ Cheers!

One evening I went upstairs to read my book, and the room was filled with bright light. They had installed a street light on the telephone pole out front. What a nuisance.

I would make a formal complaint to whomever was elected in the last election and his team... if it bothered me enough to shoot. As a minimum, I would demand a shield in your direction. Claim PTSD (or whatever)... Go all Karen and chit as needed. If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

If it's out streetside - doesn't that simply light THEM up as targets for the guy in the house, sitting there in the dark? Me
