Honestly, that was the best part of the CCC program 80 years ago. It took disaffected youth, taught them building skills, and intermixed them between city and rural.

We could probably use some of that these days.

FDR saved our country and set us on a path for long term prosperity and the conservatives have spent the years since trying to rip that all down. Reagan poured gas on the fire and we are now back to worse than Gilded Age levels of disparity in economic classes.
