Wrong! I wonder if he has ANY evidnece to back this statement up?
If people expected street lights to light up their front path, why does
at least every other house have *their own* light to do the job?

What planet is this guy on?!

The dirty yellow gloom "contribute[s] to the general attractiveness of
an area" does it?!

How can "lighting of surrounding areas..reduce the harshness of
alighting"? That is a direct contradiction. If you have a street light
illuminating your front garden, and you stand in your front garden, you
have a bulb directly shinning into your face. How does that "reduce the
harshness" exactly? All it does is reduce your ability to see someone
in your front garden.

Fact: lighting attracts crime. I enables criminals to see what they
are doing, and blinds onlookers.

"encouraging activity at night" - what, like astronomy?!!! Oh, my
mistake. They must mean activities such as burning cars!
