Food for thought -

My brother is handicapped and walks with crutches. He was complaining to me how he thinks it is awful that the golf carts park two to a space (he lives outside of The Villages - but shops here).

I explained to him how it was nice to park with another cart, because it helps take up less spaces overall in the lot.

He said people don't think about how hard it is for someone like him to get out of his car. He has to swing the door out wider in order to exit the car, and when people park two in a space, they are pretty close to the lines of that space, so he has less space to swing the door open.

My husband and I were at Fresh Market yesterday night, and watched a senior park next to a space with two golf carts (it was very hard to even find a spot in the lot). She too had to squeeze out of her car to exit, because of the carts.

So I guess, maybe two carts in one space can be good.....and maybe not so much.... Guess it depends on your point of view. My brothers handicap has had me look though another set of eyes.
