As I read this article, I kept thinking back on this thread, so it seemed appropriate to post it here:
Women feel unsafe on Denver’s streets after dark, but it’s not likely to get brighter anytime soon
I had no idea the women of my city were that afraid of walking down dark streets at night. I was definitely looking at the issue of street-lighting from a somewhat androcentric perspective. I love walking at night, and I've gotten so used to the riff-raff that it takes a lot to make me feel unsafe these days. Maybe we need more lighting, but hopefully still warm lighting?
