The issue also has impacts on public property and investment that are of concern. For example, in the 17th St Streetscape (and other streetscape projects), the project was unable to use anything other than the historic globe lights that are very light polluting. Even though new lights and enclosures were being used for the project, the project was prevented from using a design that could have provided an additional improvement because of extreme historical concern. If you walk down the 1700 block of Church St NW, you can see many of the lights have been marked up in order to prevent light in shining sideways into people's homes. Yet the preservation societies prevent such improvement when public funds are invested. Historic preservation goes too far.
