Since the city has been in the process of changing all of its light to halogen, I feel this city is not happy at all anymore. You would not believe the amount of people who despise these lights. At ever intersection where there is a signal, we have 4 bright lights shining in our eyes !!!!! what’s the purpose of that ????
Then we now have our home street lights changing from soft lighting to obtrusive halogen lighting where one feels as though they are in a prison yard !!!!
What is happening to our “happy” city?? Not too happy any longer and I’m a 40 year resident in Santa Clarita. Very sad and depressing !!!!
Wow you base you happiness and life around halogen lights??
Do you mean halogen or LED? Many California cities are replacing Amber halogens with irritating hot white LEDs.
This survey is full of crap. Period
