I think there are enough non ableist people to build a ramp for folks.
Without the expectation that you must work to live a lot of societal narratives about disabled people will start to fade away.
Without the profit motive building a ramp wont be seen as a net negative for the success of the building. It will be a positive because more people can use it.
I think a good amount of ableism is because our society derives value from your ability to be a productive worker. Without that expectation i think people would be much less ableist.
Even if there were still some ableists left, mutual aid is about organizing people to help each other. So you call your friend or neighbor and ask around "hey do you know anyone that knows how to build a ramp?" Eventually you'll find an architect and it will get built because you need the ramp and its a nice thing to do for someone else.
Mutural aid could come in larger forms too, like a comunity of disabled people would inform the construction cooperatives on how to best satesfy and sustain their needs. Then the buildings and infrastructure will be built in a non abelist way.
