If this apocalypse is nuclear-related the best place would be Kansas City.
Phoenix Arizona :very-smart:
so hot and miserable the raiders will never make it out to you. and if they do they won’t know where the few drops of water are. the various monuments to false & profane gods of capital that exist in phoenix will also be a good basis for a weird religion. catch me sacrificing virgins in the Sacred Grove of Go-Olf, the goddess responsible for falling of rain and growing of plants
If you’re sticking to cities DC, those vampires would suck every ounce of blood from the rest of us in their own self interest
Make sure to get a job in the green zone though
idk if you live in or around DC, but feds working there has not been a guarantor of good municipal governance, historically
our fictional apocalypses have ill-prepared us for how the apocalypse (or, as some call it, collapse) is actually going down. i think the mistakes in our predictions are along these lines:
- that it will happen all at once, as a single great cataclysm
- that we will experience a collapse in centers of power, and then in quality of life and what might be called “civil” society.
I think I’m preaching to the choir on this stuff, but it’s still important to keep these mistakes in mind. from this point of view we can understand apocalypse as a spectrum that runs from zombies, aliens, the Rapture, solar flares, and nuclear war, on through to oil and chemical spills, crop and livestock diseases, biodiversity collapse, freak cold snaps, financial crisis, and all the policies of neoliberal austerity including privatization of public goods and expansion of the police state. That’s the worst part, is that there are cops in the apocalypse, and more of them as it worsens.
