HOA gate-keeps children to avoid 'depleted candy' on Halloween night: 'Trick or treating will be limited'

For residents of this Nashville, TN community, outsiders aren't welcome on Halloween night.

Instead of crashing the rich communities to get an exceptional candy haul, this HOA-led neighborhood is insisting kids make other plans. 

If you want to get king-sized candy bars, cash, or other really great Halloween treats, you should head to the wealthiest neighborhood you can find. It's sure to be a great experience — a lot of times, these people deck out their houses to be extra festive, have elaborate costumes, and you can feel safe while wandering the brightly lit streets full of other trick or treaters. Still, just because people know they can head to the rich neighborhoods to trick or treat, doesn't mean they will. A lot of kids still like to stay in their own developments to trick or treat, or they'll head to a friend's house and go there. It's a lot of fun to see how your neighbors are going to dress up, and if you already know the area you're going to be wandering, you can sprint from house to house even faster. 

However, there are a bunch of Grinches at this one Nashville-based neighborhood, and they're clutching their pearls due to last year's influx of trick-or-treaters. Groups of little children dressed in costumes are knocking at your doors asking for candy? Terrifying!!!

They're being extra snippy about the whole thing, as they've detailed in a letter below. Instead of trick or treating until from after-school hours until 9 PM or so, this place is strictly limiting the little ghouls and goblins to a  6 PM - 8 PM time frame. They cited issues with property damage, which is a fair concern… but I can't help but wonder if they're just upset about Mischief Night, aka the night before Halloween, when kids will throw toilet paper into trees and sometimes egg cars. That's totally annoying, but my hot take is that you should just let kids be kids and let them have their fun, even if it means having to roll your eyes and break out the ladder to un-TP your trees. You're only little for so long, and no one should stop these little Princess Elsas and Blueys from getting buckets and buckets full of sweet treats.
