So exactly what do you pay property taxes for?
Up here we have to shovel snow and keep them clean but to actually pay directly for the repair seems a bit much.
Around my part of the world the city planted huge trees years ago that now have roots breaking and uplifting the side walks.
It’s a roller coaster walk most of the time. But they/we pay for that repair.

That seems a bit outlandish. I am surprised that the city does not pay for it, not to mention they would all be cleaned at the same time.
