> No one in NYC, Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, ... have big garages to stockpile supplies

I think most of San Francisco by area is zoned "RH-" (Residential Housing), and most of that RH- area is RH-1 or RH-1D (single family). Most of the homes in those regions have lots of space.

We're not just talking about Zuck's mansion either, plenty of homes in the Sunset or other West SF areas that have that kind of room.

Friend of mine went on a walkabout. Camping in his van and decided to live off just what was in his food bin. Basically a short half full rubber maid container. Lasted him three weeks.

Plenty of houses in outer richmond, sunset, ingleside, ... have multiple in-law units and converted garages. The cost of living is too expensive.
