I see a lot of writing, but little action. If only the commenter actually did something outside of the internets.

Did you vote for people like Dave Campos and John Avalos, who are spending YOUR precious tax dollars drafting resolution that does nothing for you?

i’m perfectly happy paying to fix my own sidewalk, as long as my property taxes actually go to the schools like they are supposed to…. which they don’t

Marco, you clearly don’t understand property ownership in a city

They aren’t the city’s sidewalks.

God forbid the city should have to repair its own sidewalks.

Right, I mean, it just seems like they’re just gonna cover the ground with markings before they get around to actually fixing anything.

That’s been written into the City charter for eons.

That makes sense. We pay for a $6.5 billion annual budget, which includes guys with spray paint to flag the sidewalks, for $80k a year + lifetime benefits & a fat retirement salary. But the property owner has to pay for the actual repair work.

They’re marking pavement and sidewalk that needs to be repaired.
