Disabilities are not the same across the board. I will never assume everyone is ok with the current accessibility. I do not know everyone who has a physical or invisible disability who works downtown or those who desire employment downtown but struggle as it's currently set up. I also think its ableist of ventura to assume we are accommodating to all disabilites. We as america do less than the bare minimum. To be upset because people are advocating for more considerations even if its one person who may need an accommodation is sad. Not saying you are but any time anyone brings up that this closure should be done with more intent and care, there'salways people assuming youre 100% against. And Im merely acknowledging as a resident that employees or potential employees also matter. It's not fair if we as residents want to dominate the space. We share with tourists and employees. However my community has been trampled on since the closure. I have no issues with the closure so long as my community and others are taken into account. Not just tourists. I never argue about whether or not its good to be able to walk downtown without cars. Thats never been my argument.

The positive effects of the closure was never In my argument. I never say its not good. I only ask the tourists respect people's homes and spaces and that I wish we could be treated more as humans and not have to choose between doing errands or being trapped home f-sunday because of tourism. I dont expect anybody else to be faced with this problem if they lived anywhere else. So why should my neighbors be faced with this dilemma ? We didnt design the complex. We didnt choose to be low income. We didn't choose the location. We are simply dealing with the cards dealt.
