As the fear of a potential nuclear apocalypse looms over the United States, it may be wise for homebuyers to reassess their desired locations. Real estate experts have determined that the safest places for surviving a nuclear war are in remote, rural areas with warm climates and access to water and farmland. This means that traditional factors like being close to shopping centers and public transportation may no longer be as important.
According to Andrew Ragusa, CEO of REMI Realty in New York, the location of one's home can greatly impact their chances of survival in the event of a nuclear war. In an interview with the Daily Mail, he stated, "What used to be important when purchasing a home, such as a great school district or proximity to shopping, has now shifted to prioritizing warm climates, access to food, and access to water."
For those looking to buy a home in the US, experts recommend considering areas in California, Florida, and Texas that are located away from major cities like San Francisco, Miami, and Houston. These areas are ideal due to their proximity to water and favorable weather conditions. As Ragusa points out, "Being near water ensures that you will always have access to food and water, which can be desalinated for consumption."
For those who prefer to live near a river, states along the Mississippi River such as Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, and Wisconsin are also viable options. These areas not only offer access to water, but also have a lower population density compared to urban cities.
In conclusion, while many may prioritize certain amenities when looking for a home, it is important to keep in mind the potential consequences of a nuclear war. Real estate experts stress the importance of considering factors such as warm climate, access to food and water, and rural locations in order to increase the chances of survival in a worst-case scenario.
