Ha, I'm oppressing everyone! Also a matter of perspective.
Your perspective makes all the other complaints seem a little silly in comparison. My dad had a double amputation below the knees and a good friend who passed away a couple of years ago had used a wheelchair from the time he was a child, so I was able to see secondhand the challenges that you would face in navigating the city, and some of the simple things that the rest of us take for granted.

Thanks for offering up your thoughts on the matter. It should give us all pause for thought.
