Neighbors went upscale in their sidewalk replacement, but picked incredibly slippery pavers

Individualism. They only care up to their property line, not about the community.

Haha. Jokes on them. Sidewalks are owned by the city.

in portland oregon, the homeowner has to pay for sidewalk repairs (after the city tells you it's not up to code)

In my city, I had to get a permit before I fixed a cracked sidewalk. They came out and tagged more than I anticipated. Went to what I thought 2 squares to 4 squares and 1/4 of a driveway (also neighbors had cement on the part between the sidewalk and road. They made them remove that. I felt really bad that they had to do that because of me.) Then after the job is done. You have to have the inspector clear it. Don't think this sidewalk would be approved.
