The honest answer is: probably not, unless you’re really struggling. If you have a condition that makes walking painful, exhausting, or dangerous, then yes, start the process. If you just want to avoid a 30-second stroll in the rain, save your energy for something else.
Think of it like a VIP pass to a theme park. It’s not for people who don’t like queues. It’s for people who can’t stand at all without their legs threatening to quit. Your dignity is worth more than a parking spot you don’t need.
And if you’re still unsure, go for a walk around the block. If you come back feeling like you’ve wrestled a bear, it might be time to chat with your doc. If you come back humming and thinking about lunch, just enjoy the walk. Life is short, but parking is forever.
