Reply to comment by ProlapsedMasshole in Dover builds tiny home neighborhood by sheila9165milo

Totally get the purpose…especially watching the video. But one of the single most (often forgotten) underserved communities is the disabled - both young and old. This includes our veterans. There is no mention of even creating one handicap accessible home of the 44 units in the video or article. That’s shameful, honestly.

Edit: Interesting the person defending the builders deleted their posts lol

It’s very “dangerous” and presumptuous of you to assume the disabled aren’t part of the workforce and building toward homeownership. Hopefully, towns become more savvy and approve their developments with a set minimum before the project can start.

This has not been my experience in a community I lived in but perhaps it was the funding the specific builders used. Regardless, inclusive communities are certainly the NH way. It’s terrible optics for the builders to take the short sighted stance (at the very least their bad PR campaign).

There’s also a literal family member in this thread touting these for the “elderly” which, by design, makes them practically disastrous.

Edit: words

I can't speak to that and agree it's important, every person is only temporarily able after all, but just because it wasn't explicitly mentioned doesn't mean it's not accounted for either.

If not then hopefully this is successful enough that they can account for it in the next project. It is good feedback.

Designing for accessibility only increases marketability.
