MORE ACCESSIBLE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
Myth #3: People with disabilities are
outliers, a fringe special interest.
As noted above, the CDC has documented that one in four adults has some kind of disability.
The UN has proven there are more than one billion people with disabilities on Earth.
That means a place like Miami-Dade County, for instance, has nearly 700,000 people with disabilities.
I live in Little Havana, which has a population bordering 100,000.
Factoring in census undercount and undocumented people, it easily has 25,000 residents with
disabilities—plus all those who visit the neighborhood to work, shop, and play.
