Ijmorlan means that, for anyone whose time is worth anything in financial terms, the burden being imposed currently is definitely greater than $26/year. Some people truly might rate their time as worthless and give it away for free, some people enjoy shoveling snow and would conceivably do it for fun anyway, but for “typical” property owners with “busy lives” (almost everyone seems to think their life is busy), they’re using $26 worth of labour clearing the city-owned sidewalk after the first snowfall or two.
