text: Maybe get a lot of people together to form a buisness co-op where you could all help each other out by building your own businesess.  Business people helping rebuild your community.  You can create jobs, get huge tax breaks by employing locals.  Create online businesses.  Form a land purchase co-op where the co-op owners own the land so you can try to wrest control the real estate market, then resell it to the co-op owners for the uninflated market rate..
