Canard, I do live in a condo, as I did previously. Some of my winter walking commutes were in front of single family homes, some were in front of multi-family dwellings, and some were in front of commercial areas (The Keg, and the plazas on King between Conestoga Mall and Northland were notorious for not plowing). Snow shoveling has been with me for a long time from childhood memories of mothers and elderly on my walk to and from school who could not get over or get their stroller over the snow left on the sidewalk. More recently, it's been seeing the blind or mobility-impaired in UpTown, struggling to get through incredibly high traffic sidewalks (the dwelling on the northwest corner of Regina and Bridgeport is notoriously bad for clearing snow). I don't want to slip and fall myself, but it is the plight I see of these people, and the city's lack of enforcement despite repeated complaints, that gets me the most.
