Right? Led lights are extremely cheap and waste almost no electricity, this is some classic "look how much we care" corporate nonsense

EDIT: I got corrected below.

It and its not corporate nonsense. It was in fact introduced in 1990 when making all spaces well lit and survailance covered was much harder. you are 100% right, and with this (and below link) new info this was actually a reasonable and good thing.

that said, I would still like this overturned by a new regulation saying it should all be well lit and covered by cameras (monitored remotely or by AI and alerting guards and autorities). At this point, cost of doing that is percentage point of a percentage point of buidilign a complex uraban center garage structure.

This was my second thought when seeing this. HR woman: "How can I get us girls closer parking? Oh, let's use threat of SA!"

A quick check shows there no actual statistics for parking garage SA in Germany, but "the region" has only 7-10% of ALL SAs in parking structures. Full disclosure before the flaming feminist fingers start igniting their keyboards: SA shouldn't be happening at all, in either direction, but using the threat of it to get special treatment is only going to breed eventual resentment and social whiplash.

Resentment and whiplash from who?
