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.
There can never be enough, those that really don't need them will take them all no matter how many there are leaving none for those that really do require them such as those with wheelchairs or crutches. Good to think about this once injury has healed. Not enough REAL enforcement is the problem.
