^ Dan was referring to the councillor' view that there are homeowners that clear better than the city, not his own.

There are clearly some homeowners that do a better job than the City would. The problem is extending that to a belief that in general we are better off with each property owner clearing the sidewalk in front of their property, which is clearly not true in practice and it’s hard to believe it would ever be true even in principle.

On my block of Stirling Ave., there are homeowners that truly do clear the sidewalk right down to the concrete. However, that doesn't help much when the sidewalk in front of the next property is not cleared at all, and I am trying to get to the bus stop with my walker.
