[QUOTE="BadgeBunny, post: 2359891, member: 1242"] Without a doubt. And after a little squabbling here and there, they will, for the most part, do like they do now -- stay in their own little territories. Yet another reason why leaving home and becoming essentially a refugee (if you have no pre-defined destination to go to) makes no sense at all. I've said for a long time (and after some extensive **GASP** personal experience that folks are gonna be better off staying home (provided home is still standing) and working with the neighbors they have to secure their neighborhood and work as a unit, as opposed to striking out with the bazillon other "preppers/survivalists" out there whose game plan is to become nomads. In many instances, suburban neighborhoods are gonna be easier to maintain and protect than those country boys' acreages, even without utilities, in part because so many of the city kids think they gonna go to the country to "live off the land" ... :naughty: Think about it. A suburban neighborhood that is proximate to decent wooded areas, leased farmed lots and city water sources (several of them) but is easily closed off from all sides by blocking off streets and fortfying already existing fencing that can be regularly patrolled by the 18 families living on that block is gonna be a lot easier to defend than a huge section lines with only a few families living between them -- even if those families are huge. Additionally, if certain neighbors were so inclined and already had substantial gardens in their back yards and a few small livestock pens here and there :lookaroun for chickens and rabbits ... and maybe a guinea or 4 because the other neighbors didn't mind the noise ... :anyone: And what if a couple of those neighbors were plotting to turn their front yards into edible landscaping to increase their food production? :anyone: I mean, seriously, there are always advantages and disadvantages to ANY location. Where people get into trouble is they stick with the traditional thinking of if you are in the city you have to get out and if you are in the country you are good ... You need to be brutally honest in your assessment of your situation in order to improve it. That means focusing on the negatives instead of the positives of your given situation and doing what you can to improve them, regardless of where you are. To do anything less is a disservice to those you love and care about. [/QUOTE]
