Like, we’d still need to build houses, but it could be a thing you do with your friends for fun, because building stuff is fun and if it wasnt, kids wouldnt play with legos or sand castles. Then you watch/help the new residents move in. Maybe compete in a local construction crew league if you still need hierarchy and ego motivation.

Hell you could still have specialists even, just instead of it being Steve who only knows how to build cookie cutter housing it’s Irish who is obsessed with mid 200s Hispano-Roman architecture. Or maybe it’s both of them working in harmony to create something truly horrifying.

Or sam who only knows curry, painting (but not playing) wh40k miniatures, and rococo architecture. Their husband and sister drag them out to their construction team (in a local league) because they need to get outside, and because they have most a mechanical engineering degree and can paint and add ornamentation (gotta get those bonus pooints!) faster than anyone else in the county. But at what cost? At what cost?

As much as I am loathed to use the comparison I’m just imagining a house absolutely full of little easter eggs like a particularly autistic version of hidden Mickey. You stare at the bathroom tiles for too long and realize that it’s a repeating pattern of the Alpha Legion hydra, there an Enclave symbol in the light fixture, and if you open the pantry at exactly 3 am you hear Karl Franz shouting “Summon the elector counts!”.
