It sucks that Highland Park won't have well lit streets. However, there are more options than just having street light poles.

My neighborhood is well lit by public lighting, but many folks on the street still want more light and install porch lights.

So if folks in highland park don't feel safe because their street is too dark, install a porch light! a ~20 watt CFL light will provide around the same level of light as a 100 watt traditional bulb and will light up a lot of real estate.
DTE Energy and its Corporations must give the folks in Highland Park a break. They need their street lights to keep their ghettohoods safe. Yes they have been corrupted but they have a soft heart. Folks in those ghettohoods are just trying to survive. If they don't receive help and get a trained education. They would look to other sources to make and save money
 for their own survival. If the corp pigs want to suck HP dry, then go right ahead. Those folks in Highland Park still have a compassionate heart to hang on their homes they work so hard to achive.
