I should have added: the biggest difference is for people who like their sidewalks to be dim or unlit ("They took away my night"). But for most people, well-lit sidewalks are both more pleasant and more safe than dim or dark ones. (This does not just to reduce risk of aggressors; it also makes it easier to see hazards on the sidewalk that could cause tripping or falls.)
