MORE ACCESSIBLE FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
Myth #2: Cities can’t afford to make their
facilities and public spaces more accessible.
There are a few different points to cover with debunking this one.
For one thing, people with disabilities are the most under and unemployed of any marginalized group.
This is because of the built environment, not their underlying disability.
Spending on mobility, transit, and infrastructure that’s accessible to all would hugely improve access to education, employment, and housing for people with disabilities.
That, in turn, will go back into improving the broader economy and creating a
stronger tax base for cities.
