I live in a zombie zone but actually the urban folks don't worry me that much, they are going to be beggars to the remnants of the government. They can lock down an urban area like a prison, curfews, quarantines, rations, etc. In times of riots they tend to loot and burn down their own neighborhoods for the dysfunctional are well... dysfunctional. If an event that turns people into refuges occurs the poor are to be pitied for they can't get out of the way quickly, it is they who will suffer the most as they did in Katrina. May we all keep our humanity as much as possible if some vast tragedy ever befalls the United States. It is inevitable that good people must sometimes defend themselves and their families from others. People do turn very nasty especially when hungry it is a sad fact of life and in an urban area there are more people. It is also true that you can live next to a serious psycho in the remote countryside with no one around to hear your screams.

...it is they who will suffer the most as they did in Katrina.

There may have been some poor left who did not intend to stay, but a nurse down there in the Big Easy told me the last Amtrack pulled out empty.

Not saying everyone, but a bunch stayed behind for the looting.
