If you watched the endings, ALL of the Mass Relays fall apart. There is not a single usable, or even remotely salvageable one left. And another thing, the lack of resources can be applied to the races left in the Sol System. Sure, they can try and rebuild but with many of the planets in that system being mined previously and for the most part depleted, the only major planet in that system being as well off as Tuchunka, Turians/Quarians requiring a completely different type of food that would be somewhat hard to create mass quantities due to the lack of resources, those races are essentially screwed. And don't use the stargazer as an example as to how the galaxy is ok. As an example: inserting a clip at the end of a game where a character explicitly dies and then at the very end showing another clip that states that the character lived and never died at all. It doesn't explain anything, it simply creates a paradox.
