If a neighbour was sick, or elderly, we all chipped in and took care of it, often being a time to chew the fat with others. This was part of being a community. We're talking about, at the most 40-60 feet of sidewalk, a little more if it's a corner lot. Do we really need the city to clear the sidewalks in residential areas?
That depends on who "we" is. Maybe you don't need the city to clear your sidewalks. But if we walk on city streets, then your responsibility for yourself and your neighbours isn't enough - we need everyone to clear every sidewalk in a timely way. It doesn't really matter if everyone "should" clear their sidewalks.
