As a kid I literally considered “when I grow up I should live in a condo where shoveling was part of the HOA fees or just hiring a pro removal company so snow days can still be nice and enjoyable as an adult instead of ugh manual labor”

The latter option is definitely an option for those with disposable income, and it need not be a pro snow removal company. It can also be an option if you live around kids willing to shovel driveways for $
