nope - concrete, well constructed, with a handrail.

No HOA then the neighbors have no say. People have to mind their own business.
NO ONE is more than a traffic accident away from needing a ramp or more.
Karma can be a cruel b!tch.
Just sayin'...
Some shrubbery and flower beds could easily hide it. It looks relatively new, so many just not done yet. Or better yet, the neighbors volunteer to help the family install said plantings.

Without a picture, I am going to disagree here. An "afterthought" handicap ramp almost always looks awful. But, they are usually constructed of wood and are clearly temporary structures. When the need for the ramp ends, the ramp is dismantled and the eyesore is gone.
An afterthought concrete ramp is still an eyesore, but it is permanent.
I would have no problem at all with my neighbors building a temporary handicap ramp, but a serious problem with property value degradation if they built a permanent concrete one.

Before you start thinking this is unreasonable, DW and I are getting up in years, and I built a concrete handicap ramp into our retirement house. It is inside the garage and being part of the original design is not an eyesore. Not only that, but we keep the garage closed and no one even knows it is there.
We don't need it yet, but if we ever do it is available. And, anyone using the ramp is protected from the weather all the way into the car.
A little forethought and an eyesore can be turned into an asset.
What could these people be complaining about?
Discrimination against a disabled person without cause can be costly.
