| As we prepare for the snowstorm, i am reminded yet again why i love not having sidewalks |
| Same here. |
| I actually hate that there are no sidewalks in our neighborhood, but not having to shovel one after a snowstorm is a small consolation. |
| Stop being so lazy. Having sidewalks makes a neighborhood more safe for pedestrians, and walking is one of the best (and free) exercises a person can do. |

Whereas I normally hate not having a driveway, but I don't have one to shovel (the 15 feet of sidewalk doesn't compare), and since I have to park in a garage for free during snow emergencies, I don't even have to scrape off my car.
Would go back and buy an SFH if I could time travel to 2019 prices, but there's a couple days a year I enjoy city living! |
For some reason in my sister's neighborhood with sidewalks, people only stop and look when they reach the road. So we have to treat every driveway like a mini intersection where the driver isn't looking. They don't consider pedestrians because they think the sidewalk and cars are unrelated but they are. I much prefer my unsidewalked neighborhood where people look out for pedestrians in the road |
Pedestrians can walk on the road. Roads were never meant for cars only. Bike, walk, scoot, skate on the road! |

Am I the only woman that likes shoveling snow? It makes me feel strong, and it's such a great way to mix up workouts.
|
| Rwlish it, OP. I have one of the longest sidewalks in our neigjborhood with a corner and a bus stop. I just salted it. Let's hope it is not bad. |
I'm the OP and I'm a lady who loves shovelingg snow too! But I like shovelling pristine driveway snow on my own time, not iced over stomped on sidewalk snow within 12 hours after the snow stops falling like my old HOA dictated |
| I have a corner lot and my snow loving husband picked a great time to be out of town. FML. |
Here's what you do. Shovel ASAP, preferably mid snowfall. Lay down de-icer. Done. It's so easy. |
Yeah no I'm going to cozy inside with a book, a mug of mocha and a fire. But as a walker, I appreciate how dedicated you are! |
| I love a good shoveling session. I get out in the fresh air, get a good workout in, and get a chance to catch up with all my neighbors who are out doing the same thing. |
+1000000 We're looking for a house now and won't buy anything without sidewalks. Also no sidewalks looks cheap. |
