This is the worst problem for my family.  And when you see the people that get out of most of the handicapped spots, you know it’s abuse.  My son is in a wheelchair.  If you can walk then do so.  We just went to his first concert-Billy Joel at Fenway.  I always arrive at these things early, always looking for handicapped parking, and never finding any because EVERYONE is handicapped apparently.  Because we can’t fit the van in a parking garage, I was forced to park in the “Residents Only” spot.  And yes, when we came out of the concert, there was $100 parking ticket.  This is where I get bitter.  Same thing with elevators.  My 17 year old is like me, and he said “dad, why are there so many people in the elevator that can walk?”  Because people are lazy son and it’s true.  Fenway isn’t that high up.
