PARKING SPACES

I have a Handicap sticker for my car. It is always in the car and when parking I place on the rear vision mirror. Because of gas prices I have not traveled much this spring and summer. When I do it is usually to my PT and exercise. I noticed the other day where I frequently go that the Handicap places have been reduced. I have also noticed that in other areas where I shop, i.e. Whole Foods. What is going on??? There are more SUV's driven by trophy wives and designer babies who park in the spaces orginially designated as HANDICAP! The older and less able to get around on my own I notice that those of us who are less-abled are less acknowledged. Put somewhere out of the mainstream. Are we going backwards in acceptance and public accommodation? I contacted the police department and the rational was that there were too many Handicap spaces and "regular folks" were complaining they had to walk too far! There is no way the merchants can change this. The only way would be to petition frequent shoppers to get the city to notice. So in reality those with NO DISABILITY are more important to the Merchants than Handicap individuals??????????????????
