Old buildings also go unused because some rich fuck would rather hoard empty buildings when they could be converted into affordable homes for example
And most demolition material ends up in waste and isn't reused, it'd very wasteful to demolish a building to sell the land when some other person is going to build another building out of other materials
Companies claim resources are getting more scarce but they really can't be half-assed to start recycling and finding more sustainable ways to make things
Edit: and companies also do create artificial scarcity of resources they sell to others as a way to Jack up prices as well
Right, the video in the meme actually talks about construction sand, which can only be found close to rivers and sea (or mined), desert sand won't bind to the cement for being too smooth.

Makes me wonder why they don't just reuse old buildings that are still structurally stable
Oh right, it's because of capitalism
You say that like demolition and building a new structure aren't fucking expensive. Old buildings are reused for new things all the time.

Yes that's it
Me living in the desert : It's time to do some business.
Desert sand is too fine and smooth. Construction sand needs to be coarse and rough (not necessarily irritating, cement does that)
Didn't know that but yeah the sand we're currently using for building our house is a not as smooth to the touch.
