We have these organizations called NPUs, neighborhood planning units. I've been attending various ones for 2 decades now. I see the budgets and understand the tradeoffs. Residents don't want em more than they want plenty of other nonsense.

Residents DON'T want them? That surprises me. Can you give insight as to why?

I'm a big fan of Dark Sky friendly lighting, and donate to the International Dark Sky Association (IDA) sometimes. Every resident I've spoken to who experienced the transition has enjoyed the new lighting, provided it's implemented well.
