More light in Oak Cliff will only lead to better aim. I am sure that the area is pretty safe without the light. If I was to drive to a public park in the middle of the night. Which I do not do, but I am guessing it is to get drunk, high, or depressed.

Let it be dark. There are enough other well lit venues for folks that are not choosing to hang out in dark public parks in the middle of night.

I can barely sleep at night for all the light here in my neck of Oak Cliff. If folks are going to steal my stuff, the tend to do it in the broad daylight when I am at work.

Save cash and have cops sweep through the park on 30 to 90 minute rotations, shine the spot and move every body out.
