I definitely think the event should be curtailed. I live in downtown Chapel Hill and have noticed a steady increase in the noise level to the point where it was so loud last year, I'm considering finding somewhere else to stay. Halloween is something I now dread and want to avoid, whereas I used to look forward to it and enjoyed it when it was smaller. The fact that there is now violence, in addition to the huge cost to the town, should be the last straw. This money could be much better spent elsewhere.
