Do you think that accessible parking spaces (and the legislation which regulates them) are a product of identity politics (treating an individual differently because of his or her group identity) or a product of a liberal society (attempting to reduce the barriers faced by disabled persons so that they can maximize their individual freedom as well as non-disabled persons)?
