We’re going to walled in cities. North of Houston Exxon is building a city where 5,000 people will work. More and more gated communities are being built. Before too long there will need to be armed guards to protect the neighborhoods. I just don’t see how one person will be able to protect himself.
Thank you for posting all the useful links. I’ve already sent a few to friends in Ukraine. I’ve even sent them to a couple in Russia that are fearful.

“North of Houston Exxon is building a city where 5,000 people will work.”
That Exxon venture is just outside Montgomery County where it meets up with Harris County. I don’t think it is within Montgomery County, just a few miles outside it. I live in Montgomery County and the Exxon venture is about 12-14 miles from me. This area is a swell place to live and Exxon figured that out. That particular area will send people to my town to buy goods because we are not crowded with cars everywhere. I guess their cars are going to be added but it would be awhile before it could get crowded.
“More and more gated communities are being built.”
I also live in a gated townhouse group where we own our townhouses. When I come though our gates, it’s like the town just left - I can’t see or hear any of it but town is just yards from our gate. Our property owners’ assn. just put in a surveillance camera pointed toward our gate. Good for us.
