It bothers me to no end that there isn’t regulation to shut all the lights off for unoccupied buildings and parking lots at night. So much light and energy pollution for no real benefit.
Hmm, I have a bit mixed feeling about parking lots (unless they are closed with no cars). I once was going to a car in a garage that turned lights off at night and it wasn’t fun. First, you couldn’t see shit if you had no flash light, so finding your car was extra difficult, 2nd no matter if you are man or woman it is fucking scary. Imagine being in an empty parking lot late at night, now imagine it is all that plus pitch black, the parking is open so anyone from the street could go inside.
There is legislation about that. Not in the US of course, but in France and I think other European countries there is laws requiring to turn off ads, light in empty parkings lots, street lights … In the middle of the night.

Can’t have a scary unlit parking lot if you don’t have a parking lot at all.

Street lights? That’s inarguably too far
LEED building certification requires motion detectors on lights.
