Then we again run into legality problems. I really think the solution to people parking in handicapped spaces is to give them temporary placards and temporary disabilities to go with them. Then they can legally use the spaces they covet.
As I tell people, the benefits I receive are open to pretty much all. Do you want a nifty placard like mine? Do you want audiobooks or Braille books mailed to your home? Well, you can have them too. You just need to poke your eyes out. They will count the disability, even if it is self-inflicted (as far as I know). And then you can have the same benefits that I do. Too attached to your eyes? Cut off your legs and I bet you can get benefits from that too. Really, these things are available to any willing to go for them. And if you're not willing, then shut up. Because if having the disabilities is such a hardship, then maybe you should let us have our friggin' spaces. Besides, the two disabilities I named are actually both fairly small ones. The really hard disabilities are hard to acquire by choice. The ones where you can't breathe and are prone to collapse and experience terrible pain whenever you need to move around. Those are the really nasty ones. Blind people at least don't tend to be in chronic pain from their blindness. Losing limbs varies, that can be painful even long afterward, but travel isn't likely to affect that as much. So, really, if you're not willing to put in the bare minimum effort...
