Unless you own the building, you are not obligated to take care of this, the landlord is.

If they aren't doing that, report them to the city.

Good looking out for your neighbors, but don't let your landlord neglect shit.

Edit:

In the United States, the Americans with Disabilities act requires landlords to provide their tenants with a habitable place to live (because that's what they're paying for).

Additionally, if anyone slips and falls on a property, the owner is legally liable. Those are facts: It doesn't matter how you feel about them, they are what they are.

Downvoting the person informing you won't change anything.

Downvote away if it makes you feel better, but if you're a landlord, maintain your fucking property and take care of your people! Don't be a piece of shit slumlord.

On the one hand, salt destroys cars, which is based. On the other hand, salt destroying cars means more cars get bought, which is cringe. On the third hand, salt makes it easier to walk, which is based. On the fourth hand, salt is notoriously bad for the environment (nobody ever threatened to beet juice someone's fields, you know) which is hella cringe.

I guess what I'm saying is skip the salt, use beet juice, and lay out spike strips on the road

Please done just put salt down without shoveling. It makes piles of slushy salt that at best are a mess, but likely will re-freeze into an uneven hazard. It’s also really hard on dog’s paws. An able bodied guy should be able to use a shovel.

You're a good guy OP but someone in my city is being sued by their landlord specifically for doing what your post is about and supposedly ruining the pavement, so make sure to cover person #1 before others!

I wonder how those laws handle disabled people who can't shovel snow and don't have someone to do it for them. Expect them to hire somebody to do it? The disabled are generally not well off financially, so that's not really a solution.

I don't have a sidewalk in front of my home but where I work is on a walkable urban street. Clearing the sidewalk when it snows is such an enjoyable thing to do I look forward to it. Pedestrians walking by sometimes say thanks, the woman across the street brought me coffee once. Her husband uses the bus stop so I always clean the bench. Technically I'm getting paid but I do much more than I'm obligated to, sometimes I'll clear a couple driveway skirts.

Apparently the guy in the meme is notorious for treating their employees like absolute shit.
