Mr Spock does not live in Edmonton

My insurance rates: same car..that's getting older and I'm driving LESS and the cities are decreasing in size and traffic volume.

Toronto car insurance: $100.00 a month
Calgary car insurance: $162.00 a month
Edmonton car insurance: $224 a month

Reasons for high insurance? "Per capita, the risk of a collision is substantially higher in Edmonton". This MIGHT be...because the city doesn't plow streets out here so the potential collision risks are higher

Reason for not plowing roads? : The high cost of snow removal would increase property taxes. Ah.

So today's question has some math

You are a citizen of Edmonton and you have two options:

1. You pay an extra $100 dollars a year in property tax to clean roads
2. You pay $500+ in increased insurance costs, put your life at risk AND will deal with the annoyance of having an accident.

Seems pretty tough to me
