I disagree, the riots are a very good example of how you can survive. Did you see the groups of asians and turks who grouped together to protect their property ? No one went near them.

As I said in another post, a prepared group will have a very good chance of surviving in a city where there is no law as there will be no rules in place that prevent them from doing what is required.

The point i am making is that just dismissing urban prepping as a waste of time is not only wrong and misinformed but also ignores the fact that nearly half of preppers (probably more i expect) actually live in urban areas.
