It's wrong in so many ways "that the disabled should be housed in special buildings," according to disability-rights advocates. There's enough room in this free country for disabled people to be housed in special buildings - or amongst the general population. It should be their own choice. Accessible housing isn't preferable only for the disabled. Many features are better for non-disabled people, too: 1) bulky furniture & luggage is easier to get through wider halls & doorways; 2) 2 people can pass in a wider hallway more easily; 3) lever-type door handles are liked by people with dirty hands who want to open it with their elbows; 4) lever-type sink taps are easier for people with slippery hands from soap; 5) higher electrical outlets mean you're not on hands & knees to unplug something; 6) firefighters can move their bulky gear - and rescued people - more easily through the wider doorways & halls. Since most new houses have 2+ bathrooms, it's easy for 1 to have a non-accessible bathtub. There's no good argument against requiring all new housing to have accessible structural, electrical, and door- and tap-handle design. This adds ease of living and choice to everybody. You gotta problem wit dat?
