It seems like it’s becoming us and them, more every day...

That's everywhere friend. Unless you can go to the sticks and hide out, where there are no shopping centers, jobs, businesses, towns etc, it's becoming what you said.

I personally have no desire to live really remote, and have to drive 50 miles just to work or do anything.

I once lived in the LA area, Bellflower (which was at the time cattle yards and railroads), Long Beach (which at the time was oil rigs and ship yards) and San Pedro (which was the best of all for a Navy brat). That was when Dragnet was a TV show.

Yesterday over here, a body was found in the bay with rocks in the deceased pockets and wearing a backpack, filled with rocks. Investigation ongoing.
