Stupid's Back

If you stroll the Knoll you have probably noticed a new addition to the Chamblee-Dunwoody intersection that cropped up overnight like some kind of mushrooms. Yep. Two new, pretty much unnecessary sources of light pollution. Remember when the city gave a hairy rodent's rectum about light pollution? Of course you do. But look, it gets better.

Here They Are

Not just two, but two different types, two styles. Let's take a closer look at the shorter of the two.

Oddly Familiar

Doesn't this look like the pole lights on Dunwoody Village Parkway? It does. Well, except for one notable exception. 

This is the one they replaced and this is where things get stupid. Again. The Knoll tells us that there are indeed replacement lights that are visually consistent with all the others on DVP, at least when it isn't lit, but Stupid chose this atrocity. But wait! It gets worse. Because this is what the not-so-long-ago city mandated residential streetlight looks like.

Hard to see, but notice the similarities: open frame; straight lines. Just like the DVP atrocity. 

So here's what happened. A DVP style streetlight was installed in a residential area where all the other streetlights are of a different, conflicting style, but a replacement light on DVP is in the residential style, conflicting with what was there and all the others that remain. How stupid is that?
