Nobody takes me seriously about accessibility hazards in the real world until a sighted person is affected by them in a freak accident.

Makes me wonder why I even bother.

context:

Property manager replaced our neighbourhood's trash dumpsters with a stupidly sophisticated system of color-coated recycling bins that rarely get emptied.

Garbage piles up. Wind picks it up. It lands on peoples' lawns. And no one picks it up.

Sighted parent didn't see it, slipped on it, ended up in the emergency room.

Will anything change? Please? Ugh. Smells like shit too.

...color-coded*, whoops

Also the colors are impossible for me to distinguish meaning a household chore I could previously do on my own now requires the help of someone with better sight.

I'm sorry but that just shouldn't be necessary.
