Quite. Not to mention that situations like the ones that tend to produce those hollowed-out shells of villages are not usually one-shot affairs, and so the danger has to calm down before people can come back and rebuild.

Yep. No point in trying to rebuild if there are still opposition forces or patrols in the area.
