There are probably people that have never really seen the stars and it will probbaly only get worse. It's honestly sad.

It makes me think of the Overview Effect.

There definitely are tens of thousands, if not millions of people that have never seen a bright night sky. That's pretty much the case for anyone that lives in or around NYC. I'd say that's the case for anyone that lives in or around a big city.

I'm down in Miami now, which is a far cry from NYC, but it's still pretty bright here and you can't see much, drive about 30-45 minutes west to The Everglades and that's a different story though.
