Some places only have 2 stalls. You're free to use either one...
The issue is that IF you are in a wheelchair, you have no choice. Here in TV, lots of folks have had knee replacements and hip issues that require them assistance in getting up from these non ADA height toilet seats, so HAVE to or feel the need to use the one (or two) handicap stalls that some of us have no options when needed. It is not a problem I expect others to get unless they have issues that require grab bar assistance. Hopefully it is not a problem you ever have to deal with, but a fact of life for a lot of us as we get older. Our old joints ain't what they use to be, and balance becomes an issue often with age regardless of "handicap". If this was not such a huge retirement community, I would not expect the need to be as great as it actually is.
