That argument would hold more water with me if there were anywhere that had a significant number of curb spaces restricted to parking for people with disabilities. But as it is now they're just fighting with everyone else for street parking and their odds aren't any better that the spot in front of where they need to go will be available. Like, it's accessible if you consider a coin flip accessible.
Beats no coin flip.
I'm not convinced of the argument either, but I think you gotta wrestle with the fact that some people might have actual grievances here and aren't just wokewashing their concerns, and that's me saying it on this topic.
