Agreed 100%.
Pick your neighborhood carefully.
You need neighbors that work together not fight each other.

My solution; nearly completely off grid in very rural
Hawaii. You can only get here by air, or by sea.

No worries about roving raping robbing gangs from the big cities.
Despite Honolulu’s best efforts, anecdotally I know we are armed to the teeth and have lots of guns and ammo that the government doesn’t know about. We have very little crime.

I particularly recommend tuna packets, which I do rotate. I've had some lately that were almost 5 years past the "best buy" date. They're tasty, don't require refrigeration, and come in a variety of flavors.
Always in the back of my mind. We live in town but have family in the country to fall back on.

This. Zombies won’t go to a lot of effort to get to you if there is low-hanging fruit nearby. It’s also all a waste of time if you don’t constantly use what you have.
