The ADA is a government document, and as such it was written as a benefit for special interest groups. I’ve been in a wheelchair for 30+ years, and I’ve seen and heard abuses that makes it clear that the ADA hurts the disabled as much as it helps.it needs
to be thrown out and rewritten by disabled people, and not government lawyers.

In a city near me, a wheelchair bound resident used the ADA to force the city to repair any sidewalks that were not perfectly level. His complaint was it was too dangerous for him to travel on them in his wheelchair. His complaint was upheld in court and it is costing this small city millions to make the repairs. As a result, the city building code was changed and future sudivisions are no longer required to install sidewalks.
