I already mentioned in the parent comment - one of the main reasons for street lighting is safety, and a big part of that is making people feel less comfortable committing crimes because they think they might be recognized. Under red light, you are unlikely to be able to make out someone's face well enough to describe it later.
- frabbit 6y agoHas there been a massive surge in crime now that all the criminals feel comfortable wearing their covid-masks? All this stuff is handwaving. Reminds me of all the pre-covid arguments about not letting demonstrators be masked and how muslim women's face coverings would bring society to a crashing halt because you could not interact properly with someone who had a covered face. In other words: little or no evidence. Just some people have a fear of the dark and others find that the indiscriminate lighting of streets disturbs their repose and relaxation.
