I understand what you're saying but the problem is, because of the nature of the way capitalism has historically interacted with both the environment, community and social relations and the kind of society it has resulted in, those things actually make the problem worse, not better at this point.
I think we need less "jobs and infrastructure" (as defined by the capitalists), not more. But to simply say that leaves many people baffled or to assume that the person saying it is either completely out of touch or is somehow against the good of communities. But this is because the issues which cause me to say that stretch back quite a bit and involve a host of different power relations (http://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/the-anarchist-faq-editorial-collective-an-anarchist-faq-03-17#toc16)
