[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] This. Seriously, people, candy is not expensive. Have a heart - these kids are from crap neighborhoods; you can't see how much better for them it is to walk in a safe, pleasant neighborhood one night a year to get some treats on the most epic kid holiday after Christmas? For the person who enjoyed his/her cozy neighborhood Halloween, I can understand the feeling of loss of a nice tradition there. But for the people who are just cheap/racist/snobby - no sympathy.[/quote] This is really the nub of it, and it is about scale. Small numbers of out-of-neighborhood people are fine, but when large numbers of out-of-neighborhood people come to Halloween, it can destroy the community feeling. Instead of seeing your friends and neighbors and kids you sort of know, you are seeing a bunch of random strangers. It's a totally different feeling. [/quote]
