Urban survival will be 100% about weapons, ammo and the will/skill to use them.
First.

First rule of urban survival is to leave.
Hording food will starve more poor people.
That’s like filling the Strategic Petroleum Reserve during a gas shortage.
I am on the outskirts of one of the cities that was a hotbed of riots in 2020. When it all went down, in my defense, I practically turned my home into a German pillbox.
The party is coming Wethersfield you like it or not, best get a chair before the music stops. Moved out of the city when Barry the Muslim was installed and began preparing
It’s better to leave the city now before the disaster happens. Will save a lot of grief trying to get out while avoiding gangs, lawlessness and anarchy.
When the Eletric power stops in the ‘city’...
Your house becomes a bad cave
The water will stop running
The sewer system stops working - impact on you varies by location
No fridge, no stove, no cooking = no food
Stores will close
When the cops don’t show up to work, it is all over....
On the other hand, city life is great - while it lasts.

If you live in Florida and don’t have a go bag (bug out), you are simply nuts.

I always get a kick out of the urban dweller who thinks they will escape mayhem by rushing out to the wilderness and waiting it out. As if the other Like the million other people in the city are just going to stay put. Bugging In is the most realistic method of waiting out a disaster. That being said... The most likely scenario where one would have to leave would be a natural disaster ( flood, fire, earthquake) so preparing for that is definitely imperative. Prepping your own home is always the best bet.
I always get a kick out of those who call this hoarding. Grasshoppers.
Correction :" Bugging in is the most realistic method of waiting out a disaster..", especially if you have nowhere else to go,
provided that you have already prepped and have (#1)water,(#2)food, (#3) a means to defend , (#4) heat/energy/cook.
Some of the most prepared (campers) I know have already found out through 'trial and error', and have learned more from what they forgot to include in their supplies.
You learn faster and quicker through your errors than you ever will from suggestions or instructions.
Practice makes perfect !

Add to that a rechargeable battery that you can use to charge your phone.
“First rule of urban survival is to leave.”
Yup—that is the second, third, fourth and fifth rule.
There are no more excuses for living in urban areas now—unless you are a billionaire and can afford your own private security team.
Buying extra food when there is plenty and prepping is not hoarding and my doing it when it’s not an issue will not affect someone else in the long run who refused to prep.
Your leftist drivel has no place on FR. If you’re calling prepping “hoarding” you are just carrying water for the left.
