One thing about most modern cities that no one seems to have mentioned. Most modern cities are on the brink of chaos...they usually only have about three-or-four days of food for the population, and if long-distance trucking and air transport failed for any reason for any extended period of time...they'd start to go hungry pretty quickly.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
