The lake has ALREADY changed; why would change stop now? Some change is good, some bad, but change is change, and no one will ever convince me that the lake area will cease to change. (And in the time it would take someone to make a convincing arguement, the lake will have changed, thus proving them wrong.)

As far as the stars, it is a fact that you can see fewer at night than you used to be able to. (There are several amateur astromomers in the area; ask one of them.) And yes, the cause is pollution: LIGHT pollution. Although the cause if this is 'more people," it's the way these people are living that is the real problem. More people in small houses tucked into the woods is one thing; more people in large developments with an over-abundance of streetlights is another.
