"Maybe not, but there are enough ham radio operators with gear that every neighborhood should be able to have communications of some kind."

I get your point, but don't believe there are enough operators to cover every neighborhood in the US. That said, they could be a communication point if more Americans bought them. Too bad Radio Shack is defunct, bet their sales for ham radios would be going through the roof as well as their stock.
