Think about your favorite restaurant, bar, kebab place, corner shop etc.

All have wheelchair ramps. Even the townhall that was built in the 1700s has a wheelchair ramp, as does the church built in the 1400s.

I only know a handful of places that are in the centre of dense cities that don't have them.

Then if I wanted to make comparisons to the US, yes lots of buildings are wheelchair acceptable, but they still expect you to drive between those buildings, even if you're disabled, so sidewalks and crossing points are abysmal.
