conuly

Only because it is pointed in towards the yard instead of out to the street, even though a lot of the light illuminates the street too.

Whoever lived here before me must have had them put up the light pole like that. I tried asking if the electric company would reposition the light at the top of the pole towards the street so that I wouldn't have to pay the extra money, but it sounded like they would only turn it off, not reposition it. Then the street by my house would be completely dark and more dangerous. So I decided to just leave it and keep paying the fee.

There are other normal streetlights around (I take it that's what the "subdivision lighting fee" is for), but it can get pretty dark in some areas which aren't right next to one.
