I'd argue that ada compliance in the real world is a boon for everyone. Especially for people with temporary disabilities, chronic pain, joint or muscle issues, the elderly, people with children, people will strollers, people with luggage, &c. Accessibility, in my experiences, is rarely at odds with aesthetics or degrades a person without disabilities experience. I cannot think of an example of the later, but I won't go as far as saying it never happens.
- DuskStar 7y agoAccessibility is great! As long as it doesn't end up with situations like MIT taking down a ton of old lecture videos because they didn't have the funds to add captions. There's a lot of real-world situations where mandating accessibility would result in closure. There's no way to make Angel's Landing [0] wheelchair accessible, for instance. (this is very common in the US's national parks, to the point that I'd bet that 3/4ths of them have at least one such trail/location) With situations like that, your choices are to keep it open for some people, or for no people. 0: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angels_Landing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angels_Landing
