I would not live near a city for any money in the world. I’d rather have little money, no debt, and no groups of ferals for hundreds of miles.
That’s why I live where I live!
I don't blame you.
Still ... I think it's instructive to consider the various "services" that make urban life possible ... and what will happen to those services when TSHTF.
Police, Fire, EMS ...
Electricity, gas, gasoline, water, sewer, food ...
Imagine how much fun it will be as all this comes crashing down around the ears of the feral hominids.
Remember Watts? Detroit, Washington DC, Newark, Atlanta ???
Those were localized. And they were catastrophic. When TSHTF whole cities will go the same way.
