You could make the exact same argument about the whole ADA
And in fact I do.
the truth is that it wouldn't happen by itself.
True, but the solution for "too little" is not "too much". When I drive into the city, I see a lot of free parking spaces all the time - for disabled people. It seems there's half a million disabled car drivers in this city, except that they're never parking anywhere. I understand handicapped parking. But when you can mark the times you see these spots actually used in a calendar, then maybe the amount is not right?
And beating shop owners over the head with the law has been the best way to get results.
Again, to some degree, yes. As with everything in life, there's a balance. The rest of us take a little inconvenience or additional cost upon ourselves to help out the disabled. We shouldn't be punished for making an effort just because that effort is not 100% perfect.
