I'm a hardcore prepper. But lest we get too full of ourselves, remember the whole neighborhood that burned down. There could have been preppers located there and it didn't do them any good. Look to the Lord and don't laugh at our neighbor's misfortune.
Excellent point.
Cities are death traps.
People live like rats in boxes at the mercy of everyone and everything.
Individuals have little control over their own destiny.
The overpopulation swamps every service and every escape route.
It magnifies the effects of every event.
Even a common snowstorm that is taken in stride in suburbs, towns and vllages becomes a mini-disaster when it moves through a city.
