LIGHTS IN PTC...just a silly rant

just wondering why the new developments in PTC lighting output is not being regulated... yes this is a silly inquiry, but recently the lighing around Chilis and Longhorns has gotten much brighter... plus the Avenue... it's really noticible when you look accross the street at Carabbas and the rest of that shopping center... other questionable businesses are Hartigans, Mcintosh Village and the entire Kedron Village shopping center. Has PTC let this rule go? I love the sleepy hidden feel of the local businesses... is this our future...

just a sill rant...

The days of PTC being beautiful are gone. Light pollution is pretty rampant. Its still nice in some areas though, but sadly in a good chunk of them too many of the trees have been cut down. I remember when you used to not be able to see houses and buildings from the road. There used to be a barrier of trees in most places but not so much anymore. And dont let me get started on that whole area over by Walmart. I dont know why anyone would want those building so close to the road. Anyways, Im just ranting I guess.

Well, seriously, since they aren't in a residential district does it hurt anybody? The light "bleeds" over to the road and saves the city the expensive of installing dedicated street lights (which might not be a bad thing anyway).

Me? I like the light! Just as cockroaches stay away from the light hopefully drug dealers and other riff raff will stay away too. Hey we can dream, can't we? Sticking out tongue
