That's the problem. You could be operating say a health club, where 100% of your clients are in good health. But you have to have five or ten choise parking spaces just sitting empty all the time. You could be losing business because you don't have enough non-handicapped spaces. Meanwhile a hospital that is only required to have 10% handicapped spaces, should probably have 50%. The demand is not the same everywhere. The law should be flexible, to meet the demand for spaces.
But don't forget, the more handicapped spaces you have, the farther away from the entrance some of them are going to be... which sort of defeats the purpose. The ones on the outer fringes of the spaces may be useless to some of the disabled. The point of diminishing returns, and all that.
Unimpressed. First he only issued the ticket to himself, because many people saw it and complained. Second, he still didn't accept any personal responsibility for it. He blamed another officer for failing to move it. Which is irrelevant, since he shouldn't have parked there in the first place.

I don't think so. Even if 50% of the lot is handicapped spaces, it's still better than not having enough. True that parking halfway across the parking lot is going to be bad for someone with mobility issues, but having to park twice as far away, would be twice as bad. Maybe even impossible.
