Light pollution is mainly an issue for astronomers, but it can also be an issue to local residents living in light polluted cities. In many urban areas, unwanted light can easily enter someone's property during a night and may disrupt them from sleeping and having excess light while driving can dazzle someome's eyes and cause accidents.
Light pollution affects astronomers as the light from many street lamps goes up into the sky, therefore the light gets scattered by the atmosphere and drowns out the view of distant stars and galaxies.
