That price range would give me breathing room to make sure i can pay the rent and still make a profit.

Business has slowed:1) Pricing is getting breath-taking2) City of Portland rules targeting landlords and evictions becoming draconian3) We've had about 8 years of rent increases and tenant's are maxxing out.My gut is it'll be better than 2009.  

Send a certified letter stating I’m Removing the ramp if the proper steps getting this up to code and permitted. ( I don’t think any landlord would hold their breathe on a tenant doing that).

The main concern to pay attention to is that it doesn’t breathe.

But I do feel like I am holding my breath sometimes when I watch the market and what is happening in the world.  

Not doing so will trap fungus, not allow nutrients to get to the roots, and not allow the grass to breath. 

In the same breath, this pandemic which you see as a "challenge to happenings in your professional career", became a "tenants live free" mantra.

I also have small children and I'm horrified to think what they've been breathing in.

Don't hold your breath!

That's allowable and reasonable. but for some strange reason, in the post right before this you made, you stated that it is never allowable.in the next breath you define it as “allowable and reasonable“
