It's honestly so depressing. I live in a giant apartment block and we do trick or treating amongst all the apartments in the building. Basically you sign up, get a door tag, and kids will show up to your door and you give them candy. Very normal. When I moved here there were dozens of apartments that signed up for this. This year so far there are 3. My apartment building has 230+ units. Literally just over 1% of apartments are now willing to give out candy to kids. Grim.
Haven't had trick or treaters in 7 years across 3 different apartments and multiple states. Just 1 fairy princess around Year 5 and had to scramble to find some stickers to give her. Everyone does the trunk or treat stuff now, which made sense for little kids, but is also sad because it turns it into a sectioned off activity that you drive to and then go home.
