HORDE HYPE 3

It is not just urban cores that are jam packed butt hole to elbow with teeming asshattery.  All of suburbia is, wherein every single swinging dingus with two extra dollars to rub together has fled above said asshattery.  The suburbs can stretch quite the ways.  Here in Nevada almost every road anywhere in the vicinity of a city is packed with two acre ranchettes from that city to every small town within an hours drive, and sometimes much further.  Because of almost complete lack of ground water, or all that many decent reservoirs, any drop of surface water is completely shaded by hovering masses perched within driving distance of it.  Even discounting Las Vegas, the whole state is dangerously overpopulated for its meager water resources.  I imagine Arizona is far worse.  But here is my point.  If most of the roads are the suburbs, and suburbs stretch everywhere, the city cores are certainly not the issue you need to worry yourself about.  It is all the areas surrounding the cities, and because these drivers are by nature commuters they will all have cars and their tanks with some fuel.  And the natural inclination is to flee to the mountains.  And who will stop all these from fleeing?  The criminal groups are back in the core ( where there is no need for cars ).  And the horde fleeing towards you don’t even need to be armed.  Just their numbers alone are going to be trouble.

Here you are, a survivalist on land in the country, with neighbors you’ve befriended and formed partnerships with to join together after a collapse ( for anyone ever living in the country recently, I think we can all agree that there are plenty of salt of the earth types around you, but also plenty of petty angry dick bags as neighbors who aren’t worth the piss they can’t figure how to pour out of a boot.  Any neighbor is 50/50 just as liable to be worthless as worth a hoot.  Also, I have my doubts that any of your neighbors are true survivalists.  They will have gardens, and guns, but won’t be truly ready to survive past about the thirty days that the next grocery store trip was set to be.  And their ammunition supply most likely is in the few boxes rather than by the case.  I also see very little help from relations and friends “the next valley over”.  You might not get shot while temporarily fleeing there as marauding hordes attack, if that were an issue, but there won’t be the resources or accommodations for you there ), and you think you are safe.  And you were.  No armed groups of notes bother you.  Not in the post-apocalypse fiction sense of the word where scum of the earth roam the wastelands with the last of the gas searching for nubile females and caches of carbine ammo.  Instead what you get is a constant flood of flatlanders fleeing the suburbs.  Plus relatives of all your neighbors.  Plus visitors from every small town or suburb near you that had well water rather than ground water.  Plus every location near you that has no agriculture, or a wood source for winter fuel.  It may not be all that much percentage wise of those that could have left, but since the population has increased so much, and every location but a few exceptions such as the artic Nebraska plains has more people settling along most commuter arteries, there are still enough people arriving peacefully that they present an issue.
