I live in a small housing area, 500 hundred houses, in the country. Not isolated, but country none the less. When we first moved here there were maybe 250 houses. No street lights, no sidewalks, asphalt roads we pay a local company to snow plow. I could see the night sky. I didn't worry about vandalism or crime. Anyone who could even find the place couldn't see to do anything other than try to not run off the roads in the dark. People move here and then complain about all the above. They want sidewalks, ain't going to happen. Concrete streets. Where do we get that $10 million? Deer eat their flowers. Plant flowers deer don't like. Leave their outside lights on to deter crime. I can't see the night sky any more and all the lights do is show the bad guys the cars parked in the driveways, usually unlocked with purses, laptop etc in them. And people get surprised they got stolen. They knew what they were moving into prior to buying their house. Yet, they want live in the same suburban style they moved away from. The best one of all, some parts have restrictive covenants. But it's my land and I can with it as I please they say. No, whether you knew or not, when you bought that land/house, you said you would abide by the rules of the area. If you don't like them, buy an acreage. Or move to Montana. And if the bad guys find your well lit house one night, remember, we didn't have that problem until people started leaving their outside lights on all night.
