Walking walking walking walking.... Nice if you're young or ablebodied. You can't walk to work or around malls or to neighborhood stores if you're disabled and they don't have enough universal accessibility. And every city in America is still not entirely ADA compliant. I didn't see a single wheelchair or scooter in this video, or even a cane. Yet the disabled are more than a fifth of the population, the largest and most invisible minority. Even the public transit systems need help: often, the disabled can't get onto the transportation at the stops closest to their homes, or the buses themselves are old and noncompliant and people have to waste time going further to hook up at an accessible point, or waste time and pre schedule for special municipal transportation vehicle or more expensive taxi fares, with a lateness leeway of up to two hours! They can't necessarily be as spontaneous as these ablebodied people can. It can kill an entire afternoon... and frozen groceries and ice cream melt before they can get it home. Cities don't need handicap accessibility, they need UNIVERSAL accessibility. Everybody likes smooth transitions from the street level to the sidewalk, rather than step-up curbs. Seniors, bicycles, strollers, mopeds, people wearing a leg cast with crutches, they all like absence of curbs. Everyone prefers the large try-on rooms reserved for the disabled, rather than the regular stalls. Universal access barrier-free shower stall floors are safer for everyone. Everyone likes automatic doors in stores and banks. Glad these can walk where they want. Until there's universal access, the dissbled often must depend upon their own transportation since most city's alternatives are far from acceptable. Yet they pay the same taxes and are also consumers.

I wouldn't be complaining. Do you realize how much the able bodied are required to pay for things they don't use? I do have mixed feelings about this, but I think they should make part of the city very very accessible to the disabled, but not require the rest of the city to pay billions for something not used by most. Also, in america lots of people become disabled due to inactivity because they didn't grow up in a culture that required walking. Sorry if this offends you or you were born that way, but all the things were required to do now makes places worst for the majority.
