Default Handicap parking

I wonder what the law or regulations say about how many disabled parking spaces must be allocated for public places.

More to the point, do age-qualified communities get more or the same number as every place else?

Surely there are not enough of them in The Villages. They're all gone whenever my spouse and I go out -- and this has been the case even before the seasonal people arrived.

Spouse suffered a foot injury and has been hobbled for a few months. Before this happened, I'd never noticed the shortage of disabled parking spots. Heck, it seems only two are allocated in the squares. The rest of them are way back behind buildings some where and not convenient, even if you can find an empty one. We make do, but it's still frustrating.
