I think the HOA does the snow removal for townhomes.
At this time of year I am thankful I only have an alley and no long driveway to shovel. Thanks Daybreak!
I am curious, do we actually know that the lack of road maintenance is due to lack of $$? Or is it simply poor planning and organization? I hear the economy status as a reason or excuse for just about everything these days! If we have to choose between fire/police and safe roads to drive on, then it sounds like they need to raise taxes a little to compensate. I moved here from another state and we paid much more in taxes and as a result we had better funded schools and adequate public safety- including winter road safety issues.
I also grew up in the midwest and have lived in the northeast, and I am very surprised at how poorly the road are maintained here thus far in comparison(plowed/ sanded/ salted). So I understand where you are coming from. I am not sure why that is, but I figure I will just have to get used to it.
