I think people have more of an issue with the parents and non-kids that come around asking for candy. Or the greedy kids who grab two handfuls of candy out of the bowl because they weren't raised right. It's an entitlement issue.
this is 100% my issue. I don't care and as a matter of fact welcome kids who live in another neighborhood that doesn't have a lot of people handing out candy. every kid deserves to experience that and not every kid lives near that
The problem is parents/people who just drive around looking for candy. The kids that bother me are way past trick or treating age... don't even make eye contact before digging into the bowl, will shovel as much as they can into the bag and sometimes have to be stopped..hell sometimes they aren’t even wearing costumes.
I also don't love a ton of cars while kids are walking our neighborhood which is small HOA maintained roads with no sidewalks. There is actually plenty of places to park just outside and walk the neighborhood like residents, but the people I described above generally drive the car around and just wanna get in and out quick as possible
The activity isn't: we're going trick or treating, it's lets grab as much free candy as we can then head home.

Turning off the lights doesn’t work? That’s the universal signal.
Or put a sign on the door that simply says "out of candy, happy halloween".

People flock to mine and are fine. Its like fricking Mardi Gras on canal street in my neighborhood. people of all races are just having fun. Trick or treating. But I get it, until somebody starts bad trouble right?

dead serious. Every year there are always a handful that have the gaul to walk up to a dark house @9PM and ring the door bell. Both my kids just falling asleep. Dogs finally able to relax.
last year there were a group that did this that were teens wearing all black and scream mask. it sucks and is stupid
and i have no problem with kids from other neighborhoods coming, but i do have a problem with the above and the following
1) cars- you dont need to drive and follow your kid through the neighborhood. park your car at the front of the subdivision and walk your fat arse around door to door with your kid.
2) coming late as mentioned
3) being disrespectful as in not saying thank you, taking way more than you should and having to be told to stop or getting mad/cursing at people if they run out of candy
and i have a huge problem with property damage. the egging and running in peoples yards with the cars...yea that shite has to stop.
that is why HOAs get involved.

Park two cops at the entrance. Check entry passes that you give only to your residents. Ask for ID's which verify addresses. Done.

I’ve always found it amusing this time of year with respect to our liberal “friends"/Acquaintances.
Many of them relish in their virtual signaling by living in gentrifying areas “in the city. It’s a source of pride for them to be living among "their" people and they would mock us for living in our Lily-white neighborhoods.
However, when it came to Halloween, they would always go to their conservative friend's houses, living in gated communities or “white“ neighborhoods. They weren’t going to have little Atticus, Nelson, and Winnie going door-to-door in the hood.

This could work on our neighborhood

Makes me glad I live in the middle of nowhere.
If the HOA folks are really that upset, it would be easier and legal to just do their own secret neighborhood Halloween on 10/30. Then shut it all down for 10/31.

I saw some guy almost get pulled out of his car and beat down from doing this. He was prob driving 30 mph on a street FULL of little kids waking/running all around from house to house, in the street... just doing what small kids do on Halloween. He got yelled at by some parents and he told the parents "F you, put your kids on a leash"... got very ugly from there. They blocked his car in with a gold cart and they were banging on his window trying to get him out.
Cop was on patrol and had to intervene... prob saved that guy from going to the ER.
Similar incident in our neighborhood a couple of years ago, except it was a female. Of course she played the race card. Irony was the woman yelling at her, who she could not see, was a home owner in our neighborhood that is.....drum roll.....the same race.
Of course my neighbor would be considered an Auntie Tom by these fine upstanding folks.

I don't have a problem with outside kids coming trick or treat in my neighborhood.
There is an elementary school situated in the front of our subdivision that has ample parking. The problem I have is lazy people not parking in the front and walking around with their kids (very walkable distance). They ride around in vehicles with kids running around all over. I wish we could close the roads to traffic during this time and make people walk.

You can, but not the HOA, unless they actually own it and it's private. The sidewalks? More than likely servitude. The roads, more than likely public. It wouldn't even be worth it to try, I can just see many arrests going down, and the cops will probably shoot someone's dog.
No thank you.

Used to live in a neighborhood like this. The fricking riff raff that came was scary, to be honest. Lots of kids that were late high school aged coming by, too, at like 10pm, getting pissed off that the candy was gone and throwing pumpkins and shite.
Hated it. They rang the fricking doorbell that late despite a sign clearly saying out of candy. Pissed me right off as my kids were babies at the time. Was a terrible experience so I sympathize with the folks in this neighborhood

I am cool with any child in a Halloween costume trick or treating in my neighborhood. I've never asked any of them where they lived.
The cars loaded down with high school kids and what I assume are their guardians, all dressed in street clothes, asking me to give them anything, is the reason some people can't have nice things. And like every year, ring doorbell recordings will be passed around showing these types emptying unattended candy bowls into theirs, or even better when they just take the whole bowl.
If we could filter out these folks, everyone would be happier. And yes, way less "fatigued."

Why are y'all leaving candy bowls unattended? Whenever I've had kids of age to take trick or treating, we pass out candy before and after we go out.
Even my parents knew better than to do that shite. They either had a friend's older kid give it out while we were out or once we got old enough we did it while the younger ones were going around.

Some people just aren't as versed in the proper way to do things, compared to you. I guess.
Maybe some folks do it just for the fun of being proven right about certain segments of society.
We never did it. I didn't need to prove myself right.
