Just checked the CDC guidelines for Halloween and what we are planning is listed in their “moderate risk” category, not in their list of activities to avoid.

Awareness on Halloween is still not being pushed. We need good leadership to spearhead awareness and offer solutions.
Media is starting to talk about Thanksgiving, but Halloween is first...should be discussed first.

Don't know what it's like in suburbia these days, but I can attest to a time when that was a bright shining invitation to TP the entire property.
Not that I ever indulged in such mischief... it's not as much fun as flaming bags of dog poop on the porch anyhow. Or so I heard.
I've never seen any trouble with a dark house. You're assumed to be off at a Halloween party.

It's possible that some things have changed in the last 45-50 years. It's been almost that long since I lived anywhere "trick-or-treatable", so I wouldn't know.

Around here, if the front light is on then go to the house. If the front light is off, skip the house and move on.

TP is too valuable to waste on houses nowadays.

Had a little experience with that. We go to a smaller grocery store that has great deals on meats. Porterhouse and ribeyes, $4.99/lb. And very good quality. Their paper product section not so much. We got some TP there, a brand called Joe Fluff. I can tell you Joe is an idiot.
That's always been my understanding, also. Growing up in an area with a lot of kids no light meant maybe one or two doorbells. As an adult the doorbell has never rung with the lights off.
