[Access] Immobility at the Auction

[mary otten]

i wanted to make one other comment. i don't think its a matter of  people not thinking we are not important enough to accommodate. its always a matter of competing interests, what a uu on another list called competing covenants, in a slightly different context.  here's a hypothetical scenario. what would you do if you were the auction leader and  you learned that we had two choices  of venue. one has lots of room, but we will have to pay 4 thousand dollars to rent it. the other is adequate for most people, but its limited such that if you use a mobility device like a wheelchair, you are going to have serious issues navigating. this place costs 1000 dollars to rent.   do you pay the extra 3k to ensure that their is enough space for absolutely all? do you do that knowing that the amount you raise will likely fall short of what was needed based  on the budget for the year? what if the spacious location cost just 1k more, but it was out in coburg? so maybe attendance will be dow!
 n from normal. this is why i say accessibility rights are  different from civil rights.
