Let's not go off on tangents.
Individual pet projects should not be brought forward in any form to a Community Development Plan or any other.
The issue that irrated me, obviously, was when an individual was singled out by name
in correspondence on a County Website.
While I do not know the individual whose home looks like San Quentin, is it appropriate to name this individual ? Single him out ? Come on.
Many discuss civil liberties in regards to Green Harvest or other federal / county /state regulations. But we as "Puna" wish to regulate the lighting individuals have on the outside of their homes, or driveway entrances ? How would that ever be enforced ?
My point is this, if all of the huge concerns Puna has were taken care of, sure let's talk about Light Pollution. But there are certainly larger environmental concerns, imo, than light pollution currently anyway.
Stick with some higher priorities, leave the personal pet projects for a later date.
