I live in the suburbs, I know where the farmer's markets are - I'm ok with the cities collapsing.

I hear talk all the time about 'food deserts' as people dont know where, and cant get to the suburbs where the food is when crime and such drives a grocery chain out of town. ( pre pandemic shortage )
So many people live in cities now and are basically slaves to the machine. I doubt the machine dies.

The existing government(s) in Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank must be immediately dissolved and replaced with a one-state utopia (it's the only way to achieve justice, y'know), and when this happens it is a certainty that the resulting government will be socialist/Trotskyist, because my pro-Pal ex-friends's boyfriend told me that there are plenty of Palestinians are left-wing, so it must be true.
