    Ok but please clean your sidewalks, people. Don’t use the environment as an excuse to be a bad neighbor. We still need to use the sidewalks.

      It is strange to me, that sidewalks aren’t public property and are managed (and cleaned) like the streets in other countries 😄

        They are public property and designed and built by the municipalities in many places. The cities and towns just prefer to offload the cleaning part to who every lives in front of a section of sidewalk.

        Let’s call it “Civic Duty” and your chance to do something nice and beneficial for your neighborhood.

        In Brazil the property owner is responsible for everything up to the edge of the road in a lot of places, including building and maintaining sidewalks…they go to shit and nobody fixes them lol
