For the past few years, they've been doing this -- and it was just annoying at first, but this year they are taking it to all new extremes and definitely crossing the line. I believe they were impressed by their own "success" in reducing it from 100-80k people down to 40-30k, so now they are trying to end it once and for all.
So there will be no trick-r-treating, no minors after dark, no one outside after 12am (or you'll be arrested,) no taxis, no busses. In the past they would barricade down the main roads, but now they are barricading down the entire town and locking up neighborhoods. I suppose the idea here is that they can literally keep out-of-towners out by shutting down access to the town. Unfortunately - not only are they locking them out, but they are locking us in!
