Cities by their very nature express a co-dependency on others. The antithesis of self sufficiency. Strength in numbers cannot be ignored. But if there is even a brief hiccup in the supply chain; the results can be apocalyptic.Yep. If your locked on an island a boat of some sort is an obvious solution. But can said person use a boat? There are compact inflatables that are more than capable of getting one across a river. Roads blocked? Lace up and walk. Or grab a bike. There are lots of options available. But none of them will do people any good if they don’t at the very least war game these situations.
I agree man. They have to be proactive in this, think it out, have a plan. Those who don't won;t make it. 4 weeks off grid in NYC could kill MANY, most likely each other. Unfortunate.
I was a yank (still am i guess) Anytime I left new england to go anywhere i BYPASSED NYC. Only took once in 80 to realize I would never drive thru there again for any reason. But then I am a hermit, not fond of cities or heavy population. Those whom like it, good for them if they are happy. But are they or are they trapped.
