Some newer items such as home appliances seem to be made non-repairable by default, while older ones even when seemingly cheap enough to just dispose of were more repairable to different extents, from a professional repair to just a makeshift repair done at home.

my folks lived in the same home their entire lives and grew most of the food I ate as a kid due to extreme poverty from my fathers broken back

Living in an apartment it's harder for me to try growing some crops and raising livestock, but I'd be willing to try if I lived in a house instead. My grandfather had an indigenous background, so he enjoyed growing some crops not only for food but also as a hobby, and I remember eating peanuts grown by him.
