The night sky is also polluted by your home's lighting and car headlights but that doesn't seem to be a problem for most people.

yeah, you can't turn off your home's lighting, additionally everyone lives in cities anyway, so it's moot!

Okay, try turning your lights off tonight and report back with how many additional stars you can see.
