Heh. Around here, dark streets are considered a desirable thing! Better view of the stars, lower electric bills, lower CO2 emissions, etc..
All very true, but:
-this neighborhood is about 8 miles from D.C., so even when the town has blackouts, night sky visibility isn't improved due to the crime lights in the city (though at any time you can still see major constellations like Orion)
-we're not talking major power usage here - every home has one lawn lamp, usually with two bulbs in it, and I think if all of them were on it would be a lot safer
