I can only say that I hope the people who complain about handicapped parking never become handicapped themselves, or one of their loved ones. I have driven a handicapped spouse for 15 years now and I would trade all of the privileged parking for a healthy, able-bodied spouse. Yes, some people do abuse it, I see it all the time when family members throw up the placard for easy parking and take a space that we needed, but it is not everyone and it is not all the time. Count your blessings that you can still walk an extra block or two and stop whining.
