Where I am, there's a requirement for 15% (I believe) of new condo developments to meet accessibility standards. You wouldn't believe how people—potential buyers, not developers—are against that, saying it's too many. That's just new developments. All the existing old stock is not accessible, so that percentage of total accessible living spaces is, actually, still tiny. But it's still too much to accommodate accessibility.
Literally everyone is one accident, illness, or old age away from being disabled in some way. I can't believe how stupid and short-sighted people are. (Maybe that's their disability.)
yeah I was surprised to come across the statistic that in the UK about quarter of the population has some kind of disability (defined as "a physical or mental health condition or illness that has lasted or is expected to last 12 months or more, and which condition and/or illness reduces their ability to carry out day-to-day activities")
I kind of get it, in a tiny flat, making everything wheelchair accessible means objectively worse space usage for a non disabled person.
Solution is to just not buy it if you don't like it though.
