My fiance and I are doing it ourselves. It's a tiny house and he has a few years of construction experience. We had to learn a lot on the fly, but it hasn't collapsed yet! Seriously though I bet you can do it, especially with a few mates.

You really think those massive, experimental water tanks won't require more maintenance, because you have to trim trees once ever few years? Or because their roots might grow too much?

Gee wiz y'all why didn't we just all think of that?! Then we could all do the same thing! Obviously this is stupid to the point of making me wonder if it's a troll.

But I know a lot of people wonder, how do we fix this when we literally can not vote our way out of it? I see only one easy avenue; create alternative systems for housing, food, and energy. We can start small and fragmented, but then grow as things collapse. Keep voting , but learn how to grow food. Buy land with friends and family. Reuse, repurpose, thrift from nonprofits, post things for free on craigslist. Do what you can until you can or must do more.
