Why cities only >>> plenty of rural areas all over the country that will be nothing but deep radioactive holes in the ground >>> start with the Dakotas, Montana, Colorado, Missouri, Kansas , Kentucky, Tennesse, Florida, Alabama, Texas, just to start ....

The risk of nuclear war is slight, the risk of being raped, stabbed, burnt, looted, robbed, accused of being a white supremacist is HUGE.
 
New York
Portland, OR
Los Angeles
Seattle
Norfolk, VA
I see you put Norfolk in there. My daughter and grandkids live there. I live in the city next to it in Hampton Va. I agree that it is a city preppers should avoid. I was curious why you consider ed it. My reasons are high crime, nuclear target because of huge naval base and also if you had to leave the city. You are surrounded by water facing clogged bridges and tunnel traffic.
 
I meant the liberal state so I just put a city. Ralph Northam (sp?) Is an ass in my opinion.

You are right about that. He is also a liar. Who poses in blackface or KKK hood puts it in yearbook and cant remember. Bullcrap. Now hes trying to get people to forget about it by taking away are 2nd amendment rights. At least he is for recreational weed which is the only thing i can agree with. Va. i hate to say like a lot of the country is going down the tubes.

Okay. I wrote ass and it changed to ###. What is goingoing on?
 
Anywhere west of the 105th meridian.

Anywhere on the Atlantic Slope.

Anywhere south of the 35th parallel.
 
I only really know West Coast cities. Avoid Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, Stockton, Oakland, any coastal area on the coast and north of San Francisco especially including Portland and Seattle. If you see homeless tarps, move quickly. If you see neo-hippy-bums, especially the ones including a dog in their costume, move on. Even the police in coastal cities are not your friend. Even some Sheriffs on the coast are to be avoided. Always avoid the California Highway Patrol. Get at least 50 miles inland before relaxing.

>>>>> ?????????? - POST IT - don't try to editorialize and sway the responses once you do !!!!!!!!!!!

you post an inflammatory hit on cities and then bitch when some truth gets posted against YOUR aim & attack - if you don't like FREEDOM here - you need to take your petty little crusade elsewhere ...

if you knew anything about history and man's survival - cities were the only refuge during certain SHTFs thru out history <<< and >>> today's Virus pandemic is a prime example - the sophisticated med equipment and care are all in the major city hospitals - local small clinics and hospitals were shut down and nearly closed due to the lack of supplies & med personnel >>> you got the big city hospital care necessary - you lived - didn't and you died ....

a true prepper understands that every single SHTF is different and needs to strategize WITH IT and AGAINST IT >>> the ignorant that can't see past a single train of thought won't last long ...
 
cities are a petri dish of infections and disease due to the close proximity of its inhabitants, this is definitely the case in the UK's more larger cities, where was the worst infection rates? in the capital thats where.
where are the least infections? in a rural area like mine.
cities might have the resources but then they have the need to use them so one cancels the other.
I was brought up in a city so I can see both arguments, but whatever the scenario you will never see me moving back into a city to live.
where are the most crimes? where are the mob looting? where are we more likely to see anarchy and violence? in the cities is the answer.
if someone has to live there because of work or family then fair enough but at least be aware its not natural and its not safe.


enough

1 Not inflammatory or attacking ASKING for opinion.
2 Not bitching simply disagreeing in part, you must be a Dem if you dont like other opinions, Nukes ARE a threat but not the MAIN threat. my OPINION nothing more.
3 Your knowledge of history is dreadful. Cities were NEVER the ONLY respositories of refuge throughtout history, most ancient cities fell, but those citizens that fled to the wildernesses lived to rebuild, Cities like Babylon, Jerusalem, Rome, Troy, Warsaw, Berlin etc ALL fell only those that fled survived. Indeed TWICE in the middle ages people flocked to the cities to seek help from the black death only to die in huge numbers in the confines of the city walls. Huge numbers of people flocked to Dresden, Hiroshima, Nagasaki only to die in the flames.



but you are absolutely entitled to your opinion, as I am mine.

In our case with covid, a small city saved my husband's life. We moved from a very large city last summer. We both had covid, and my husband is super high risk. The small hospital 15 miles from us had a person doing the non approved infusions (the one he got was the Bam one). He swears it saved his life. They were not doing these in alot of the big hospitals in the cities. They were only working with the patients that were admitted, couldn't find the people/time/room to do the antibody treatments that could be used before the first 10 days of covid symptoms.
It's obvious in SHTF things would get bad in cities. But that's my opinion, too.

Here we have two very large regional hospitals both 1000 bed plus units, but are OVER capacity with patients being kept in operating theatres because there are no ITU beds available. The smaller Community and General hospitals plus the army built Nightingale hospitals are taking the excess.
