And imagine you busted your ass to buy a house and now they come and take away some of your property

that is a really really good point, Maybe the town should buy it from you? or give you a tax break? but in my humble opinion, something should be done. Also, it is a very narrow space, most streets already have enough clearance room to make a small sidewalk

If I remember correctly, some of the arguments against sidewalks being installed in areas that really could use or fit them, i.e. suburban neighborhoods, is suddenly you've got a sidewalk you're required to clear of snow.

Most towns have different responsibilities for sidewalks. Check your local ordinances to see yours. Not all are the same.
