That sounds about what things are like where I live, in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, on the Persian Gulf.
In my case, I needed a handicap parking sticker, so I could park and be near things. They are almost impossible to get. If you are in a wheelchair they are easy to get. But no one in a wheelchair wants one because the town is totally wheelchair inaccessible. Even at the wheelchair parking slot, there are curbs everywhere, so no one in a wheelchair uses these things. And those with limited walking ability can't get the permit. So the wheelchair slots stay empty wherever they are seen.

I have a power chair, but unable to get out of the house, so I'm stuck like you. Our Township has no public transportation, so I'm still stuck once I get out. I know you feel my pain and frustration, because you're in the same situation. It sucks!!

That and the hope that if i can keep myself intact, I will be healed. I am stuck at home alone in a manual wheelchair in a place with no transportation. I worked to create a way out, but it has yet to succeed. So i share your frustration. --
