Leo, You mention that every new hut should be premised by removing an old hut starting with the Snowbird.  Sounds like you are referencing the old Snowbird dome hut.  That structure was removed a few years ago when the AAC built a new hut at Snowbird.  And, if I am not mistaken, the Dnigi hut is going to be removed, due to the little use it gets and being a snowmobile magnet.  So the build one, remove one concept you mention is actually in place already.  Degradation in this area is not due to huts.  It's due to people, lots more people that now live in Southcentral AK and come here as tourists that did when you were younger.  Too many people in AK is not something that is easy to fix, unfortunately.
