Default Seattle man scales back remodeling plans

In order to get a permit from the city to do some remodeling (upgrade the
kitchen, paint the exterior, etc.), he has to fork over $15,000(!) to have
an asphalt sidewalk installed on his 60' frontage.


He's not remodeling, he's doing a complete teardown and building a new
house. That's why the sidewalk requirement kicked in.
