Position Of The Day (very subject to change)

Save every part of the economy that can possibly be saved...or morph the worst of them into something else. This requires planning and the non destruction of existing physical and technical infrastructure. Finding something new doesn't require you to discard the old.

Religion of building
Putting up buildings is seen as the solution for everything. It isn't.

Third World lifestyle with hi tech education. Youth live in ghettos, but can hold their own with the rich kids intellectually. Includes putting status on the ghetto  Status is everything.

New kind of adaptive building
Making abandoned vehicle work for housing and make them look good; subdividing existing buildings; repairing basements, etc.
