Todays reflections

I understand there are old buildings not adjusted for wheelchairs and strollers, but how is it possible to build brand new shoppingmalls without doors that can slide open automatically? In Friendship Heights we have several new shopping stores, for example an upscale Bloomingdales, completely without it. And often when entering shops or restaurants there are a couple of steps, of course without any wheel friendly ramps. This irritates me a lot since I use to still bring Ellinor's stroller when walking there. But being handicapped here must be really difficult.
