I grew up in a rural area, where a few minutes drive out of down would kill most of the light pollution (read: most, not nearly all). I live in the city now and have for roughly a decade, and I still constantly miss the stars. Even in town back there I could at least get a decent show at night. Here I'm lucky to see a few small specks. In my experience here so far, people already don't miss the stars. Many haven't really seen them. Even if they visit someplace where they could, they're so unaccustomed to the appreciation that it's not really a consideration.
