Do you have the slightest clue what hypotheticals and stipulations are?

Yup. Generally they are excuses to not take action. In short, if your "polite request" doesn't get you results, improve your requesting skills. If you still don't get results, improve them some more. Don't spout nonsense about how you are "fully optimized" and your sidewalk fetish is all your neighbor's fault.

Meanwhile, you asked what I thought you could do, so I'm telling you. I didn't ask you for an education, so don't leap to the conclusion that I think you are qualified to provide one.
 
I just searched for that clip where Sam and Frodo are pretending to be Orcs and they start a pretend fight and an Orc is hitting the ground with a whip going:

"break it up" can't find the clip disappointing :(

Come on, if you ask someone to do something they're supposed to be doing.. once.. and they don't.. It's not on you to ask them again. Ball's in their court.

See, I never really care if people are "doing what they are supposed to be doing." I just see it as an exercise in negotiation.

I really, really don't remember that. And I used to be very familiar with the movie.

I remember them pretending to be Orcs, but not the pretend fight, or the Orc hitting the ground with a whip.

Are you sure you didn't dream it? Or, more probably, my memory is playing me up.

Who did you tell me I am, again?
 
Borachio - Its an extra scene that's why The version I have misses it as well
 
Well, I never did! I'll go to the foot of our stairs! (As they say, oop North.)

I don't either, unless it affects me. And in this case we're discussing, it seems that it would.

Well, living in California limits my perspective on snowy sidewalks, of course.

However, I did my time in the frozen north. Took a shortcut across an ice crusted parking lot that belonged to a restaurant every day for six months to catch the bus to my assigned school. Fell a couple times a week, minimum. Wondered how the restaurant (one of the upper end places in the sordid pit that was Idaho Falls) managed to stay in business, or if their snooty clientele was just more nimble than I was.

Never resorted to calling some authority down on their heads, or even the simple thuggery that is my own go to approach when I decide negotiations have broken down to the point of using force.

Clearly not, since you still haven't answered.

You asked a yes or no question, and got one. What more answer do you think you should get?

No wonder you have so much trouble making requests.

I'd offer to trade labor. If they need help clearing their sidewalk perhaps they can do something for me. But then again I got cookies for clearing one of my neighbors trees that fell into our yard, since I have access to a chainsaw and a rack and they would need to hire a service, and found that acceptable. I find neighbors that like me are superior to ones that are either certain that or wondering if I called the authoritahs on them. Or at least my recollections of being in my early 20s indicate that I was a better neighbor to people whom I liked than the ones I thought were vindictive little tools.

As I told Zelig, refine your negotiating technique.

For the icy sidewalk business, if I were inclined to actually do something about it at all, I would probably start by asking them if they had seen "the little old lady in the pink parka going up and down the street". Move on to wondering if she belonged to anyone on the block because she had really been working the sidewalk, and if she isn't from around here I'd be worrying that she was an insurance scammer. Swap a few stories from my prison days about all the fraud guys I knew, and get whoever I was talking to to help me with a door to door campaign to warn all our neighbors that someone was looking for a place to fall down and sue. Then tell them I had been talking to one of the neighborhood kids and told him he could use my shovel if he charged people a fair low rate.
