Can the city put a handicap parking space in front of your house for your neighbor?
Despite common belief to the contrary, you do not have any legal right to the unimpeded access to the public curbspace in front of your home or business. Therefore, yes, the city could designate the space in front your home as a handicapped parking space. Perhaps it might be wise to contact your city councilman and speak to them about the "unfairness" of this, and ask that it be reconsidered. Does the neighbor have a suitable space in front of their home? If not, the city may simply have designated the closest spot to his residence.

ANYONE can drive a vehicle displaying handicapped plates - HOWEVER - if you are not the disabled owner do not attempt to park in a handicapped parking space.

In a private residential parking lot with designated handicapped parking spaces can those spaces be restricted to residents only even if the guest has a handicapped placard?
Definitely yes. In many cases (such as the building I live in) the residents have to pay a monthly or yearly parking fee to the landlord or owner. Some of them may be designated handicapped parking spaces. A guest has no right to occupy the residents' paid-for parking spots. A private residential parking lot is private property, and the landlord or owner has the right to restrict parking as they see fit. A guest, even with a handicapped placard, runs the risk of having their car towed away if they park in a space reserved for residents.
Why do stores put the cart returns so far away from handicapped parking spots?
ha-ha :) I never thought about that. Maybe some non-handicapped people got mad because the handicapped have the "good" parking spots so they wanted "good" locations for the cart returns. I think they should have a cart return beside each handicapped parking spots and then the rest wherever they please between all of the other parking spaces. (Why would someone get mad over not having a "good" parking spot? so instead of walking a short distance further they steal a handicapped parking space? I don't know, we live in such an odd community.)
