When I said disabled people, I meant disabled with respect to walking, not driving. Most of the groups of people you mentioned are capable of walking on their own and so would be just fine in a car-free, walkable neighbourhood. For those who cannot walk but also somehow cannot use a motorized wheelchair but can use a car? I am not sure who would fall into this group of people, but it has to be extremely small. We should be able to find some form of accommodation for them. As for people who cannot afford a wheelchair or other accessibility device? I think we should fund these for people, using public funds. It's the most humane thing to do, as it provides for the greatest potential autonomy, which I think everyone has a right to.

We should be able to find some form of accommodation for them. Something to keep in mind, the New York City subway is by and large not wheelchair accessible! They're trying to improve it, but there's just a lot of old, small stations. I've also seen wheelchairs physically unable to fit into train cars when it's crowded. NYC right now is just a really bad place to live if you're not able bodied. I actually think giving partially-exclusive access to the roads might be the best solution.
