It's really we have more control over it because of artificial lighting. voice-verified

So it may not be that big of an issue. voice-verified

You just like the streets and who cares, you know, if it's the sun's up or not. voice-verified

So anyway, it's complicated, as I said, and there really isn't any clear answer. voice-verified

Which means it'll be dark in the morning, even in the winter. voice-verified

And they should make school start later for multiple reasons now. voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified
