My tale.
Borians, growing up in my piddly-ass farming town, when we would have a blizzard, the town plows would, eventually, get to every street.
I lived on a street off the beaten path, but whether it was plowed at 6am, or noon, or 3pm, it would be plowed.
However, today, I live in a booming suburb of the Greater Toronto Area. This town is rolling in upper-middle class residents. The tax income has to be such that the mayor and town council could be rolling in the coffers ala Scrooge McDuck.
I leave my house to go to my office at 7:45 am. The main arterial roads are plowed, but all of the residential streets are not. Whatever, it's early, I can get through fine, they'll get to it eventually.
Fast forward to 4pm. I am on my way home. No problems on the main roads. I hit my subdivison ---OH SHIT.
Not plowed. Left for 8 hours, unplowed. Nearly two feet of snow on the road, everywhere. It takes me nearly a half hour to drive the hundred yards to get my car into my driveway. And I wasn't alone, because there were half a dozen other cars stuck in the same situation. The only way out was that about a dozen of my neighbours, myself included, spent a half hour shovelling the public street just to be able to get our cars into the driveway.
