So if I still have to put up with the aggravation of sharing the road with these people, why should I arbitrarily pay more?
AFAIC, if you can't get off your street, that's one less person I see on the road.  |
Agreed! Furthermore, we had our street plowed and all it did was make a bigger, and much more difficult, pile of snow to try and drive your vehicle out of. In my opinion icy side streets are of very little concern when it comes to the traffic flow of an entire city. Now if you live on a hill that's another story but last time I checked all the hills around my place have been plowed and sanded.
Would I pay $10-$20 a year to have the streets plowed? Sure, but only so I don't have to listen to people complain anymore. However if it's $100-$200? Not a chance!
