In The Austin American Statesman on Monday, May 20th, 2013, a spokesman for The Austin Home Builders' Association said that Austin's Ordinance requiring that new homes be built to be handicapped accessible is unreasonable and or unnecessary because only five percent of Austin residents need handicapped equipped homes. This comment brought to mind a story that The Pastor at our Church in Arlington used to tell. A man is at the beach. He sees that there are a large number of Star Fish washed up on the beech, drying up and dying. Then he sees a little boy walking along the beech, picking up the Star Fish and throwing them back in the Ocean. The man walks up to the boy and says: "Son, what is the point of what you are doing? You can't possibly make a difference for all of these Star Fish?" The boy pauses and thinks a moment. Then he looks at the Star Fish in his hand. "Makes a difference to this one," he says, and tosses it into the Ocean. Handicapped accessibility may only make a difference to five percent of the population of Austin, but it does make a difference to them, and if this country is truly the land of opportunity for all, then shouldn't that five percent have the right to live in a home that is equipped for their needs?
