It’s one of those things where you have to think where to draw the line. Kind of like in grade school you had to ask to go to the bathroom and in college your professor says why are you asking?
A lot of the stuff is superficial and totally focused on increasing property values–to increase HOA fees. I did the math and they were raking in about a half a million a year for mowing the lawn and telling me my trash can can’t be outside the fence–I had the property right by the street; the irony was they didn’t anyone any lip about theirs being out.
I’m saying the irony is “to avoid situations where some homes feel pressure to match larger offerings” is kind of insulting. I mean the whole thing is written in such a condescending that I would do the opposite out of spite.
I didn’t get a sense of condescending language in the letter in the post. It can be enormously difficult to communicate those kind of things by text though, so either of us could have the right of that.
But yeah, as I say your situation can be different to others. From a parents point of view I’d imagine I’d be pissed if someone was giving out full size chocolate bars to kids for Halloween. But it is less popular here in Australia, so its not really a wide spread question like in the US.
But the US is a big place with lots of HOA’s, yours can be bad, while others can be fine but made to look bad.
Reading the request, its reapectful and reasonable reasons given. Seems fine to me.

Why?
Regulate sugar intake for children. Big bars equals big sugar. Halloween must already be hell for it, big bars compounds the pressure.
