5 of the Worst Cities to Live in After Doomsday

In this guide we are going to review the worst cities for preppers to live in when the shit hits the fan. I know what most of you are thinking, ‘That’s easy, the cities with the highest crime rate are the worse’, or at least that would be the response of someone less imaginative. Luckily, I’m not a two dimensional kind of guy, and I prefer to see through parallel monotonies to the abstractions of life. That doesn’t mean I am going to exclude those statistics, they will just play a small role in a greater sum. To provide a genuine list of the worst cities for preppers we have to factor in four critical elements; crime statistics, natural resource availability, government dependency, and cultural values.

Determining Factors

Crime statistics that take murder per capita, strong arm robbery, and assault into account provides a reasonable expectation of what these cities will look like after doomsday. The availability of natural resources will play a much larger role than crime because a lack of those natural resources will force the people who aren’t criminal to become criminals. Natural resources that factor into our ratings include; farms, freshwater sources, and raw materials. Government dependency plays a smaller, but equally important, role in how a city fares after doomsday seen in our latest post ‘Life after Doomsday’. A city with a high percentage of its inhabitants on welfare, food stamps, and other forms of government assistance means a high number of people who are less likely to be prepared, and self-sufficient. Cultural values can somewhat be succinct with crime, but for the purposes of this article, it is its own being. Cultural values like community togetherness and team spirit is a plays a huge role in how a city will fare after the apocalypse. Wolverines!

A minor clarification — one thing not taken into account is nuclear fallout patterns, which would be relevant if the disaster we face is in some way related to nuclear war, or a series of earthquakes near nuclear facilities causing a meltdown. However, this information Is more relevant to another article I am writing, and for the sake of redundancy this factor will not be accounted for in this article. That being said, this list is relevant as long as Doomsday wasn’t caused by a nuclear event.
