What is really handicapped accessible?

[Karenkay]

Ok, since we are talking about irritating things ... I struggle with parking. Some place have the handicapped parking across from the entrance rather than up by the building.

I can still walk, but not very far. I understand that parking closer to the building might not be feasible, but why can't the cut out curb be right by the entrance door(s) and not down at the furthermost end of the curb/sidewalk?

And as someone was saying in another thread, unsolicited, unbiased thoughtfulness from others bring tears to my eyes every single time.
