OUTDOOR LIFTS NEVER WORK

THESE SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN THE FLORIDA –               

OR ANY OTHER STATE’S – BUILDING CODE

They require a key and it gets lost. 

They put people with disabilities at the mercy of a never answered call button. 

They create dependency and shame. 

This abomination is at a recently-opened luxury waterfront multifamily complex.

The location, close to transit, jobs and mixed-use, is ideal for people with disabilities.

But lazy architects, planners, building departments and more -- have made hundreds of units off limits to all people with disabilities.

Wheelchair users are fiercely independent—when they aren’t blocked by barriers.
