Really, I don’t get the personal anger at the people who don’t shovel the sidewalk in front of their house.
So the city has a law stating that you need to have a sidewalk there, and you need to keep it clear. Well, that’s for the city to enforce, at its choice. The fact that you as a pedestrian gets some third party benefit from the city’s requirements has nothing to do with us.
You don’t like the snow–you shovel it.
