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.

Agreed. This is one cop you cant trust.

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.
