90% of Americans live in big cities.

Bull crap.

20% of the population live in Urban areas (about 60 million) and another 50% live in Suburban areas (about 150 million).

Oh, suburbanites can grow their own food? All the food they need to survive? Not likely! They're just as tied to the food distribution network as anybody in a highrise or an apartment building is. All will get very hungry very quickly. When you figure it on that basis, that 90% figure may be high.

Once people start staving, the population will drop quickly. I hope I'm wrong, I don't want to be right. I'd rather not find out whether I'm right or not.
