Janitor Jesus Barajas worked his butt off for more than thirty years in an effort to save up enough money to build his dream house on the property he owns in Seattle. But now his plans are going to have to be scaled down because of a local city ordinance that claims he also has to pay for a sidewalk to be put in, despite the fact that there will likely not be any other sidewalk (aside from on his property) for many years, so it will be a piece of concrete that stretches across the front of his property, but ends on either side. The estimated cost of this involuntary sidewal-to-nowhere? $15,000.
