[Mocking, high pitched voice]
Oh my god, you’re a monster! Handicap spaces are so wonderful, they’re the best idea ever!

No, they’re not. They’re stupid, they’re horrible and they’re pointless and there’s no reason for them to exist, and I will prove it to you with my usual sterling, flawless, ironclad logic, thank you very much ladies and gentlemen!

Here we are at a parking lot of a mall. Here’s a handicap spot, and here’s the mall. Let me ask you a question: if you’re incapable of navigating this parking lot, then what business do you have walking around a mall? And if you’re incapable

The memoir tells us about what Mairs lives with, Muscular Dystrophy, but it also speaks to the larger category of mobility impairmenst in every section of the book. Mobility impairment is, in fact, a quite large category, encompassing everything from a slight limp in walking to in inability to manipulate most of one’s body.

Luckily, some cities are ahead of the curve and paving the way; here’s a look at how to create senior friendly public spaces.
