All cities are more attractive at night, with the lights on in buildings and houses. Even the bridges seem like something from a fairy tale, and the reflections in the water lend a fairy-tale atmosphere. Makes a beautiful picture.
One doesn’t see, from a distance, the poverty; the people sleeping in doorways or on grates that provide a modicum of warmth.
Neither do we see the horrors of crime; theft, prostitution, murder and mayhem. Even crossing that bridge lit with fairy lights can lead to danger.
Safer to observe from a distance.
