What really sucks about the house issue, and everything else, when it comes to disabilities, is that everything is so much more expensive.
A counter that has FEWER materials is TWICE as expensive as a "normal" one.
I know for a fact, because I was a builder, it is easier to put in a doorway without a floor thrshold... yet, they charge more to do a home with them. You don't want to price a disabled home... it is a nightmare how much they rape people for, people who have no choice, for items in the home that are no different than "regular" homes, take no special equipment, with few exceptions... just because they can...
How conveeeeeenient.
When I stayed at a hotel recently, they put me in a disabled room, even after I asked not to be, charged me $60 more per night. The room was smaller than a standard room, was smaller than the standard rooms and had NO VIEW in a hotel that is know for it.
Welcome to my world. BTW, I did not pay the extra and just looked at the cashier when she started to say something... as she started to say something else my wife just said "try it". Never heard another peep. They know it is criminal.
Read a thread recently on a disabled board and this is standard practice, most four or five star hotels have their disabled rooms facing their dumpsters (many do what the Sheraton in Orlando does, have them smaller and charge more for them).
