When there are no handicapped spaces available, I have to find two spaces in order to have room for my ramp to open. In this case, the nearest two were far away. This is why I should lobby the ADA to require a couple of handicap spaces about ten rows back in all lots. That way, people with walking issues, or even abusers of the tag, have no incentive parking there over any other space, yet, for people in wheelchairs like me, the distance isn’t the issue, it’s the availability.
