Slippery Slope: City Lighting

[mpholland]

I feel pretty safe with no lights. Living at the end of a gravel cul-de-sac 12 miles northwest of a town of 1250 people, if we get burglarized I can pretty much figure it wasn't random. We have motion lights outside for our convenience. Animals are much more likely to trip them than a burglar.
I think we might need to invest in a couple motion nightlights though. When we lived in the Portland area,i f I wanted to go to the bathroom or get a glass of water in the middle of the night there was plenty of light filtering in from outside that I never had to turn a light on. Now that we are in central Oregon I am good for a couple trips or bruises if I get out of bed in the middle of the night. I suppose that could just be construed as another form of safety though.
