How does no parking make this spot charming? What does single-stair mean? Single as opposed to what?

Edit: Right, I see people are sensitive about this and not understanding is illegal. If you're interested, this looks incredibly normal to me, and I assume there will be some spots for parking around a corner somewhere. It's also outside so I don't know what the number of stairs of surrounding buildings has to do with anything. But alright.

    I assume OP means as opposed to having a ramp or elevator.

    The Americans with Disabilities Act is something I consider a major achievement of this country, and I don't even have a physical disability like that.

    It's a level of compassion for fellow humans that seems like it will never happen again and is likely to be destroyed by the supreme court any day now.

    A lot of those buildings have those small wheelchair lifts on the stairs. Single stair probably refers to a single stair well.

    Ramps benefit all of us, they're not just for wheelchairs. Have you ever had to push around a moving cart or a stroller? You don't need a disability, you'll still really appreciate the ramps!

    Strong agree. Also, at any moment a person who is otherwise mobile can twist an ankle wrong and end up with a cast temporarily for example. These things are for Everyone's potential benefit.

    Wouldn't be nearly as charming if there were cars parked right next to your table, with those cars presumably coming and going all the time.

    I suspect there is parking just around the corner somewhere and that's fine.
