I'm all in favor of recycling the materials. As mentioned, I just don't think it's economical to reuse the material in the new housing you are constructing.

But ... honestly, just from an aesthetic viewpoint, I hate the idea of homes being too much the same. It just makes me think of Daley City .. and the houses made of ticky tacky. If that's where we have to go in order to make recycling work ... then .... I'll pass.

They don't have to look
too much the same, but if the goal is keeping costs down, there will be an incentive to standardize where possible.
The question is who will live in the new housing, and what they can afford to pay. If you can
afford it, by all means, build something unlike anything else in the neighborhood. Most folks can't afford it, and will happily settle for a house of their own that they
can afford, even if it does look just like the neighbor's.
