Thank you. Yes, absolutely—I agree 100%. I worked on a lot of those projects and saw how....
It's like when I say , “How hard is it to shift from inaccessible design to accessible design? Well, it depends on when you start.” If you start at the beginning—with attachments to funding, for example—then you're aiming in the right direction and the amount of change you have to make is of a very small degree. However, if you already let loose the arrow and have done all your planning, budgeting and space planning, and then say, “Now we want to make it accessible,” how hard is it going to be to change the trajectory of that arrow? How much money are you going to have to throw at it?
The accessible housing crisis is one part, but our urban environments, including transit, are getting a lot of money as well. Without those strings attached and, again, if it's not in the building code, we get push-back—“Where does it say we have to do it?” We don't see the consequences for people who are not doing it, so those are the loopholes we need to address.
