I usually are up in the early morning before the sun comes out and it's dark.

I have had no trouble seeing all the stars. The city where I came from seem to hide all the stars. Maybe with the power outage, the sky was illuminated better, so the stars were more visible. Could it be a lack of pollution in the air? Was it a full moon?

I believe all lamp post are sensored, but not motion senoered, so I guess don't understand your point of view as I find lighted streets to be more safe especially if driving.
