While those points are true, there is still creature comforts available in cities. Soft, warm beds, electricity (if you can get it), shelter with relative security, scavengable resources, etc. I'm talking about surviving in a wasteland--literally. Some place where the closest house is a hundred miles away across a frozen tundra. All you have is a tent and a box of matches. Tell me how that would be easier to survive in than a relatively empty L.A. or Florida?
