The houses that have not shoveled are all uniformly:

Even the older neighbors salted their walks and hired people to shovel (or another neighbor shoveled as a favor).

Why do you care?

Is there truly no longer a sense of doing something because it’s the right thing to do anymore?

Just wear boots and stop demanding that your neighbors shovel snow.

NP. Nut up and take care of your property like an adult.

Your entitlement is showing. We don’t shovel because no sane person would care.

You genuinely have no idea what the definition of “entitlement” is, do you

You have no idea how to walk in the snow, do you?

Haha damn…you’ve just spent like two full days in this thread, haven’t you? Maybe you should get off your lazy ass and spend 20 minutes shoveling your sidewalk instead of 16 hours per day on DCUM.

I shovel snow onto my sidewalk.

You should throw down some salt this time and next time don't wait so long - shovel before it freezes.

I call and report these people to the county(MoCo).

I'm a runner and my various routes take me anywhere from 3 to 7 miles and after it has snows a few times, you get to know who the deadbeats are - it's always the same people.

I give them 48 hours to get it done and then my criteria are this: if the sidewalks leading to their house and/or their driveways are shoveled but the sidewalk in front or the side of their house is not, they get reported.

Did a 6 mile run today and have a list of 20 or so down county houses - we'll see where things are Tuesday morning.

You want people to clear a path for your hobby or you will call the police? You are an entitled loser.

It's not police, it's code enforcement. They typically give warnings and from what I've seen, people comply; it would only be in extreme cases where someone ignores multiple times where there would be an actual fine.

This is not for me - it's for the elderly, the disabled, the kids walking to school and the people trying to push a stroller. In the warmer months, I also report the people who pull their cars partly into their driveways(usually trying to cram multiple cars) that are then blocking the sidewalk. Again, same reason as above - not for me in particular it's for the good of all pedestrians. On my runs, I get to know who these habitual abusers are and I report them as well.

Walk right over there and tell him how angry you are! I would do it 30 times.

My walks were shoveled and salted - early.

Good for you. I'm going to start doing this too. I've started walking 5+ miles a day to get healthier and I have been so frustrated and disheartening this week with the icy sidewalks. Even in boots I was slipping and it was scary. I had to go into the street to avoid walking on sheets of ice and that was scary too. It made me mad thinking about my elderly parents, pregnant people, people with disabilities, people pushing a stroller or a cart with their groceries who wouldn't be able to get where they're going safely on these sidewalks. WE LIVE IN A SOCIETY. Everyone needs to do their part.

No one cares if you shovel your own driveway, except if that's the way mail carriers or delivery drivers reach your house. Do better.

I’m guessing you rarely leave your house.

I can skip walking on sidewalks for the week or two that we have snow each year. We have so little snow you people are making a big deal out of nothing.

Except the opposite is true - we have so little snow the people who don't shovel this minimal snow are making a big deal out of nothing(or very little, actually).
