My understanding is that PA has some stupid laws that make it difficult to impossible for municipalities to build and maintain sidewalks, forcing most of the expense onto the adjacent property owner.

And local governments often seem pretty reluctant to force local property owners to bear potentially thousands of dollars in expense to repave sidewalks.
