"One dark spot"
Looks at Litchfield County and western MA, and it looks way darker and larger. 395 has way more light pollution in that picture than Rt 8. From having driven through most of that western part it's plenty dark and underdeveloped.

It's supposed to be the one dark spot along the coastline. Inland sections tend to be darker, more remote and less developed. The point of the 36 CT and MA communities in The Last Green Valley is that it's a National Heritage Corridor with 700k acres, of which 85% remain undeveloped and in pristine condition. If Litchfield County ever decided to move in a similar direction, they would give TLGV a run for its money - although Litchfield County is only 600k acres.
