It is crazy how people still think making property accessible devalues there property even when its for another one’s home! ‪ once we lived at an appartment complex and wanted to take out the the and do a roll in shower. They said we could do it, but when we moved we had to put the shower back. idiots!!!

via  CerebralPalsy.org-  Vincent and Heidi Giesegh, the parents of a 16-year-old daughter that has spastic #CerebralPalsy built an accessible ramp to their front door and widened their driveway to accommodate their child’s needs. However, their efforts have placed them in the middle of a neighborhood spat. The family and the community builder are receiving complaints from Giesegh’s neighbors stating that the Giesegh’s ramp hurts the value of the homes in the neighborhood, even though the construction was approved by the City of Fountain, Colorado. “I mean we’re trying to do our best to assist our daughter with her daily needs to get in and out of the house,” said Vincent. “As she goes into her spastic modes, we could just tumble down the stairs and both of us could get massively hurt,” said Heidi, about the ability to access the home without a ramp. What do you think should be done to calm this situation?
