    Community mechanics and construction.

    Take the ethos of Habitat for Humanity and expand it. Have communities tearing up old dwellings but preserve and fix the wood, metal and wiring to be re-used.

    I get the appeal of self sufficiency and zero-waste, but the cost of labor will have to be startlingly low or resources devastatingly scarce for this to be worth it. As in, way below poverty wages or post-WWII Germany after it had be bombed relentlessly.
