    Which of the two pictures show somewhere that is more accessible to someone using a wheelchair, the same accessibility aid that would allow them to access the shops themselves?

    The one with level access, clearer visibility and without the risk of not being seen by a chunk of metal travelling at relative high speed or the one that has on street parking?

      The one you can fucking drive a car up to. The road one isn’t perfect but at the very least they fucking tried. Needs more parking and handicap-reserved parking, but yeah, that one. Enjoy navigating all the way from wherever you get dropped off in your nightmare dystopia all the way there and back in a wheelchair or cane/walker (not everyone who has a disability is rich enough to own a damn motorized wheelchair – again, elitism on your part).

      This isn’t a debate. This is fact. Just admit you’re wrong. This debate is over. Fuck your garbage, hateful, ableist attitudes. This isn’t politically motivated, this isn’t some troll, this is from someone with an actual disability and is tired of seeing these nightmare designed places I could never, EVER get to thanks to your idealistic bullshit designed for happy, healthy people.

      Maybe one day when you’re old and start having a debilitating problem and can’t get to your fucking dystopian walking places any more, you’ll understand.

        Not rich enough to buy a motorized wheelchair but still able to buy a fucking car?

        I think there’s a price difference between a 3000€ wheelchair and a 24 000€ car, no?

        Also:

        This isn’t a debate

        This debate is over

          Used and hand-me-down cars exist. Getting a quality, usable chair is expensive.

          Yes, this isn’t a debate because the debate is over. I won long ago by actual logic and reason and common sense, something you fucking ableists completely lack.
