We're looking for a house now and won't buy anything without sidewalks. Also no sidewalks looks cheap.

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.

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

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 have a corner lot and my snow loving husband picked a great time to be out of town. FML.

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.

Pedestrians can walk on the road. Roads were never meant for cars only. Bike, walk, scoot, skate on the road!

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

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!

Same here.

As we prepare for the snowstorm, i am reminded yet again why i love not having sidewalks
