The City of Davis has a few more surprises in store for us
Paying to repair your sidewalk is only the beginning
(Second of two parts)
Yesterday we were talking about the astonishing revelation that the City of Davis, the City that Knows Best, is planning to require homeowners to repair the sidewalks in front of their homes to comply with an 85-year-old California law that nobody has ever heard of.
Whether the City will make the order retroactive to 1941 when the law was passed is anyone’s guess, but there may be some 85-year-olds in town who inherited Mom and Dad’s property long ago and are now wondering if they’ll have to reimburse the city for pouring new cement in 1954.
It’s still unclear exactly how it will be determined that residents must repair the sidewalk in front of their homes.
