Eh, having multiple hotspots really only works well if they have Ethernet backhaul. Even with a mesh network. Especially with multiple users connecting to different APs. Then you have to think about signal attenuation. In a house with lots of walls (some with wire mesh), modern appliances etc, all that stuff in the way is going to take a big bite out of the bandwidth at the receiving end.

Trick or treating begins at dusk, and ends a few hours after. Either trick or treaters get tired and go home or, if you are handing out candy and want to be done, unplug the decorations, turn the lights off, and stop answering the door.

It should work itself out with a bit of common sense, and regulating it for the sake of the pearl-clutchers among us seems like a solution in search of a problem. I guess some people just can't stand the thought that there may be something fun and spontaneous going on in town which is beyond their control.

I never understood why this needed to be "scheduled" in the first place. If you go outside the scheduled hours, do the cops get involved? I say the towns should stay out of it, and we should keep Halloween trick or treating an informal tradition that just happens organically.
