The planets, including Venus, are easily visible in the cities and are essentially unaffected by light pollution. Not that I'm suggesting that light pollution not be dealt with, just that not all hope is lost.
As for the ISS, with a magnitude of -2 or brighter, it is definitely visible anywhere. Check Heaven's Above for the transit times. Iridium flares are fun too!
