Mum was saying the lighting makes you feel like you’re living in a horror movie, always questioning what you’re seeing and if it’s a person far away, or a bush, or something else. I didn’t realize it was bad as it is until I saw it for myself.

So yeah, it’s great old codgers who don’t even live in the muni think it’s not a big deal and put amateur astronomy before pedestrian safety, but women should not be made to feel vulnerable in their own neighbourhoods by another virtue signal.

Clearly the vaccines are making our night vision worse.

And in case anyone is wondering I’m only kidding with the old codger comment. VV gets labelled as an old man’s forum (after being labelled a young rebellious youths’ forum, after being labelled a privileged people’s forum, after being labelled a right wing forum, after being labelled a left wing forum…) now so why not throw some of that weight around.

All I’m saving, is I grew up in Vic West, and am very familiar with the area. After leaving, and spending a night or two two at my mum’s home, I’ll pick up on changes pretty fast. From my most recent visit, after walking the streets on a stroll, the lighting issue was brought up and I tell you, it’s nowhere near as bright as it once was. I’ve tuned in to the difference right away, and by comparison to the new lights installed at my home Vic West’s lights are indeed very different.

Know it all.

Maybe it's just your cataracts.  :lol:
