This. Seriously.
Turn the fucking street lights OFF (or way down)
Ban the private businesses that are running blinding LED floodlights, signboards, etc. all night.
There's an area in my city where any time of night, any time of year, there's a huge glow on the horizon, and its not the city, nor the sunrise, it's just an agglomeration of fucking CAR DEALERSHIPS that light their entire premises and car lots literally bright as day all night. When I'm over there at night I pray for power outages, because it's the only time it even gets kinda dark. otherwise its like brighter than full moonlight all night every night. And that's not even like, next to the dealerships, it's that bright over a half mile away with no line of sight.
I've even lived in a building that was infested with spiders because of their ultra-bright parking lot lighting, which attracted hordes of bugs.
Yeah. Where I live the smaller towns used to have a rule where street lights would turn off at 11pm every night. A few still do. That alone would make a huge difference.
I used to live on an actual island as a kid and that real darkness and those stars I will never forget and will always miss. The sleep you get in real dark (and silence) is just different.
Living in a city now that wants to be very modern and touristy they are ruining everything with lights, even most historic buildings get these stupid huge ad screens attached on them. Everything from bus stops to parks is just bright as day 24/7.
I could also expand this to sound, or car noise. It is so taxing.
Just having all outdoor lights be warm and dim, and on motion sensors where appropriate (bus stops maybe?) and not lighting areas that don't need it (most parts of parks) would make such a difference. I'm sympathetic to some needs for public lighting, but it should be done 10x more thoughtfully. And my city isn't even that bad in most areas.
