Maybe if I pretended to be all PC and empathetic and phony, you'd like me more and there would be rainbows and unicorn farts for everyone.


I did not say we should get rid of handicapped parking spots.

I was saying that is it NOT the job of the nanny state to dictate everything for everybody. Some of us can think for ourselves. PEOPLE should make their own decisions, not rely on the nanny state gubmint to do it for them.

It should be up to the owner of the parking lot to decide how many handicapped spots there are and where they are.
If he wants to promote business and be a good guy, he'll do the right thing. With common sense. Don't like it? Go somewhere else.

But if there is no need whatsoever for handicapped parking spots in some places, then there is no need. Get it?
It's a dumb law created and supported by dumb people.

So, who gets to decide when a handicapped parking space is needed? If it is decided it is NOT needed and some day a wheel chair bound customer/client/new employee/vendor shows up and there isn't a handicapped spot, what then? I am not resentful of these parking spots at all. Actually when I drive by them it just reminds me of how lucky I am not to have to use one. I am more annoyed at the healthy people that abuse these parking spaces than the fact that the spaces exist at all.
