If you receive a fine from your municipality for not clearing the snow off the sidewalk that you dumped off your tarp you get even more grief from the back spasms! The ''snow police'' (zealous bylaw enforcers) are a real thing in some places.

Solve that by living somewhere that sidewalks are rare. I’d swear they’re practically illegal here in Indianapolis.

I was surprised once to see frozen, dangerous sidewalks in front of a law firm, but I suppose no one is going to be foolish enough to sue them.

This is the secret advantage to culdesacs and dead end streets that people don’t often talk about. No sidewalk to be responsible for!

Having a public thoroughfare that you’re legally responsible for on your property is a PITA liability.
