I'm guessing people these days are all or nothing, and likely the latter. If they're not going to do a good job shovelling, they won't bother at all. I just make sure the areas I shovel are done well so cars or people have it easier to go on.
I'm personally glad I cleared out the top snow in my alley so cars can get through. Sure beats digging someone out in the middle of the night. | but aren't they obligated to make sure there is adequate parking available for visitors?
or does that change depending on an agreement?

now that the snow is melting, a lot of car parts are suddenly surfacing... mostly plastic undertrays, but there is this ripped up bumper that's half buried sticking up from a huge snowbank at metrotown, and at boundary/kingsway intersection there is so much broken stuff lying around i'm sure if i took the time i could assemble the whole front clip of whatever car it was  | |

All you need is a decent spade to get underneath the ice/compacted snow and your snow shovel. If everyone did the little spot in front of their house, we'd have clear back alleys. | ohyah, i see a person did all the shovelling the back lane - just the distance of the garage

i'm sure plenty of people would be more than happy to pay some kid 5-10$ for a little hard work | $5-$10?
holy damn. my mom paid two kids $40. lol
stupid

At the bottom of the hill, someone just left their IS 300 sitting in the middle of the street so nobody could get through. I'm guessing they had no traction being a RWD with probably no weight on the rear wheels. My buddy had to walk home from the bottom of that hill because of that damn car. Quote:

It literally comes off in sheets that you can throw into the snow pile, or pick up with the snow shovel. Snow shovels usually just get stuck when you hit compacted snow.
Here's a pic of my back lane after about an hour of shovelling. (I think this was around Christmas Eve or Christmas Day before the 3rd dumping of snow) The pile on the centre left is no longer there and was all moved up against the green shed in the background so guests could park in front of our garage, so that pile by the shed is now twice as high.
We cleared out a path all the way to the end of the block: 
Turn 180 degrees around and see what my lazy ass neighbours have done: 
There's almost always a car stuck on the other side. I never exit from that side, hence I didn't plow all the way to the end of the block there. (plus it's actually longer to that end of the block)
Not that hard. Three or four rounds with the spade, and the snow shovel and I've got a clean path to the end of the block. I just wish people would put in a little effort to do the little piece in front of their house so there would be less havoc in the back lanes. Of course it took less than two hours for some fuckers to block each one of those lanes I had cleared out with their cars so I couldn't get through.

I live right underneath the top of a hill, and people kept getting stuck in the road in front of my house. Shovelling my driveway took four hours, and it only took me maybe 15 more minutes to shovel the entire road, from shoulder to shoulder, in front of my house.

Well, at least it's raining and above zero now. The cloud cover and warmer weather should help melt some of the snow out there. Still a hell of a lot of snow on the ground still though...can't wait until the last of it melts. I'm sick of this damn snow.
