I would never threaten anyone, ever. I wonder why you took it that way?
Humm, this sure took a sudden turn ! So much had to do with public parking at various retails locations, and now it turns to disagreement concerning private property. Can't see this ever being settled if it switches to people's and businesses private parking and drives ! Maybe just use what gram-ma referred to as "COMMON sense" and "decency" !

Having a handicapped sticker here in TV just means u have moved up on the Entitlement scale.

Personally, i park in the closest handicap spot and i dont have a placard. There arent enough police to enforce the rule.

If you are truly handicapped…just order stuff online.

I'm thinking there isn't enough police here in Florida to enforce anything.
Speeding, noisy exhaust, running stop lights, illegal turns etc. etc.

Have you considered the average age of our residents? That may account the large number of plates.
Not rocket science.

Funny, I just saw someone being ticketed here today!
Plus I seem to recall all those things you mentioned,
also not being dealt with where I came from up north!
My, how soon we forget!

And you would be wrong in that assumption.

I occasionally play golf with someone who is handicapped. He can walk a few steps to the tee, but he's allowed to drive his cart (with special tires) up to the edge of the green. Then, he can walk the few steps to finish putting out.

Yes, he can swing a club and hit the ball well, but his heart issues won't allow him to walk all over the course, especially on the Exec courses...

It warms my heart that he can still play at his age and physical status...

I've also seen wheelchair confined players on the golf course.

Should they be denied handicap plates?

Some, yes. Him? Never! That is real commitment to the game. Kudos!

Save the handicapped parking spot for someone who is handicapped and needs to walk back to their car. Now if there were other available handicapped parking spots it’s not a big deal.
Not everyone Carrie’s a cell phone.

True, but the one chillin in the handicapped spot said that if his wife is too tired to get back to the car, she call him to pick her up at the door. That was the point, that there is a better and more considerate option to those who may have greater need or no one to assist them.

It is the epitome of disrespect and entitlement when you feel the need to tell everyone else how to live.
I have also learned that when I concern myself with my own life and ignore everyone else's, I have a much happier life.[/QUOTE]

And this, my friends, says it all!
