It's that way everywhere. Years ago I broke my ankle so had to be non-weight bearing on crutches. We traveled from the midwest to the east coast to visit our daughter. Stopping all along the way for gas and bathroom breaks this was my discovery. They only do the minimum to pass the ADA. It would have to be legislated for change on the national level. NOW I have mobility issues---not in a wheelchair yet but it may come some day. That's probably why there are minimal handicapped parking spots as well. BUT given we're in a over-55 community that's aging...take a look around at ALL the folks who might have mobility issues. They don't have to have a wheelchair or walker. Just check out the gaits of people---it's quite apparent.
