The problem is that we have created the same problem in different
locations on ever larger scales as we continue to expand the
urban areas. New Orleans is the current poster child, but even a
temporary loss of utilities such as electricity and/or water
would quickly produce the same problems in any large urban area.

How long could NYC stay liveable if all the water were shut off?

NYC is "liveable"?
