11 February 2012 - handicapped parking

When handicapped parking was introduced in the 1970’s, a decade still influenced by the idealism of ten years before, it was quite hard to get a handicapped sticker and those parking spaces were almost always open. Today you can be officially handicapped if you have a congenital squint. It’s a valuable step toward efficient use of handicapped parking spaces, but more can be done. I’m handicapped too, look, I’m only human!
