    New neighbors: Wow being in the country is so scenic and beautiful we can’t wait to be done with city life and build a house here

    Also new neighbors: Put in asphalt driveway, fences, buildings, all flooded with more exterior lighting than a small stadium

    They’re good people and they put up with a reasonable amount of our shenanigans but I’m only mildly exaggerating. Our other neighbors told me they don’t need to buy night lights for their kids because of all the extra light from that place

    And that system is AWESOME and I wish some highways in the US did the same. I fear it would devolve into a regulations nightmare after bubba in his rusted dodge rattles to peices trying to break 80mph.

    Flat open highway in between cities in Kansas? Go for it!

    But it’s kind of like the US and guns. It’s a cultural ability that is statistically proven to be dangerous and can be seen as too big of a risk for even the most responsible ordinary people to enjoy, and reckless people put the whole activity in question.
