It is coming but it will also take a long time. The idea will catch on. The bean counters will put up a fuss but we will win some day. There is a light pollution law Here In Ontario but it applies to new lighting, no order to retrofit old ones, except when they need to be replaced.

Light is so pervasive that during a blackout in Los Angeles, some residents became alarmed at a liquidlike substance that had taken over the sky. It was, of course, the Milky Way.
It saddens me that city people have became this out of touch with the night time sky.
