Of all the things you could reasonably criticize the US over, wheelchair accessibility ain't one of them. Especially compared to Europe.
What? Europe very sound protection for the disabled. Putside of historical buildings built before disability care you won't find better access anywhere.
I get America is pretty good too, but your comment makes it sound like Europe is a nightmare for the disabled.
Not sure about how good or bad it is in the US, but in the Netherlands (a place that is known for good infrastructure) it's definitely not perfect.
I never realised until we got a baby and I started walking with a stroler. Way too often the sidewalk is inaccessible because of cars or bicycles. Also lots of places without ramps or elevators.
You have a sidewalk, that is obstructed sometimes. Having a sidewalk puts in like the top 10% of countries instantly lol
Wait next thing you tell me is that I can't complain about having too many people on bicycles on the bicycle roads?
You guys actually have bicycle roads...
