The hell's a private street? Do you own it?

Technically, yes.

The reasons are kind of arcane and not very interesting, but basically my property line goes all the way to the middle of the street, and I am responsible for maintaining my part of the street.

This, in theory, makes the neighbors all equally responsible for the upkeep and periodic repairs to the street. Practically speaking, it is a bit harder than that. It takes negotiation, and some peer pressure to get stuff done.

So, no government assistance with that one?
