Evil people. I'm already pissed that there has to be the ADA. I'd've thought it was common sense that you don't make buildings people can't go in, or make it impossible for people to work - but apparently I was mistaken, and people bitch about this all the time.

Date: 2004-08-04 10:24 pm (UTC)There was this great restaurant in the Redlands. It was a historical building... and of course, had no elevator to the second floor. A person in a wheelchair sued, and got the restaurant closed down. It's a historical building and they could not, by law, put in an elevator. The person wouldn't back down and understand, no matter how nicely it was explained. Who could be that spiteful?
The problem is not that this person was being spiteful, the problem is that you have two contradictory laws working here. I'd say that the ADA should've trumped the historical building laws any day.
