In truth, the only people who really are concerned about too much light at night are amateur astronomers and lovers out for a midnight walk.

When I first moved to San Jose from Ann Arbor, Michigan, I was simply amazed at the level of detail one could percieve in the night sky in the back yard. In Ann Arbor, with wastefully-designed, broad-spectrum street-lighting, only the very brightest of stars were visible, but in San Jose, I can sit in my backyard hot tub and identify all the major constellations, and even make out the varying colors of some of the stars.

And that's in a city with about 15 times the population of Ann Arbor.
