The way I see it sometimes the solution to the problem is going back to the way it was before the problem! Compromises are not always an appropriate solution SC.
The problem in this case was the lack of thought in creating "handicapped" slips - the solution as I see it would not be to create MORE dedicated space, because again, as I see it - the problem is that most people here on the forum and in Wolfeboro do not agree that there should be a handicap slip because this presents an unfair advantage for docking rights - meaning, the dock itself is not designed for handicapped boaters - its just a reserved space so the handicap boater doesnt need to queue up. The solution therefore it to eliminate the docks altogether and go back to waiting their turn for a dock space.
Then - there could be discussion about designing a system of docks designed specially for handicapped boaters - they would need to be floating docks to my way of thinking because they need to rise and fall along with the boats. This needs DISCUSSION and BUDGETING, and everything else that goes into the process.
Just my two cents! And no - I dont use the handicap spaces when I go, even thought they have been empty every time we go over. I wait my turn LIKE EVERYONE should!
