Competing access needs are hard. They can make me feel alienated from some parts of the anti-ablist community because I keep seeing people stating the accommodations that help them specifically are obviously the the ones everyone should be concerned about.

I'm thinking of a post I read a while back that pretty much said that no one, ever, should buy or rent a place that wasn't wheelchair/scooter accessible. I commented that, to find such a thing in this town, we'd have to either spend three times as much or move to where there's no mass transit and quite likely both. I can't drive. I will never be able to drive. Mass transit is a fundamental access issue for me and was our primary criterion in house shopping. Not one of the houses we saw was wheelchair accessible or capable of being modified to be.

The points the blogger was making about things like ramps and having the bathroom and the kitchen on the same floor are vastly important, but they're not the only accessibility issues for all people with disabilities.
