Urban Food in SHTF

[Scythe13]

I think you've raised an interesting point there Tartar Horde.

The animals in the cities will be much more easily caught. And you are right, people are moving away from cities more and more, pre SHTF. After a SHTF situation there will be such civil unrest that people will try to evacuate cities in search of areas of peace with no gangs. The city density will be a large issue though! I could imagine moving back towards a city a few months after a crash. You would have better vantage points and the alike. But I agree with NR about animals being in cities because of how wasteful we are with food. Once we stop wasting food, only animals that eat dead bodies will remain in the city.

The thought of fish in the ponds was one I didn't consider. I'm not a fan of fih anyway, which is probably why I never thought about them. But the city would be a great place for fruit trees. Only issue there is whether the fruit is in season. If it's not in season, we should be okay, because people probably won't be cutting the trees down as much as NR expects. I thiknk people will be looking for things like pallets and other stuff. Paper, cardboard, that kind of thing.

A city would become like a wasteland if the expected gang violence and the alike was to escalate to a point where buildings were being burned down and that kind of thing. In that state there would be no use for a city other than as a communial graveyard.
