> One of my pet peeves is the idea of asking the world to accommodate a situation rather than build solutions that adapt to the world.

While I understand and respect the sentiment, in my opinion human history has been a trend in molding our environment to our advantage. I can drive to a remote hill in Bangladesh from the capital because there are roads that we humans built and maintain. If we kept molding to the environment, such an accomplishment would never be possible.

So yeah, maybe mold to the environment a little bit, but also mold the environment a bit, is the ideal solution.

You say this like it's a good thing.

I think this is an absolutely horrible thing for the environment. My point was to make a testament to the human will, and also to counter arguments that try to wield the cost of accessibility against people with disabilities. We could make a global network of ships, planes, and cars, so why is making a tiny ramp such a big deal afterwards?
