Sounds reasonable.
The hard truth is prepping is a scam. Unless you're a gang member you have no chance in an urban environment. You cannot barricade yourself indoor for a prolonged time and once you go outside you're toast. You're also likely to be alone without a tight-knit community or family clan. Cities generally are a death trap in SHTF situations because of high population density vs. scarce resources. You wanna survive a small apocalypse? Have a self-sufficient farm on the remote countryside with a big family and a tight-knit neighborhood community. In a city your only chance is being a smart well-informed pessimist and GTFO as one of the first when trouble is on the horizon. These were the lessons of host's city- dwelling grandparents who survived two World Wars. In cities you die even if they are not attacked directly. Once supplies stop pouring in it's over.

>Gotta go buy more guns and ammo
Pointless, you'd get zerg-rushed on your own in no time. We have enough firearms and ammunitions for a small militia - but no militia. And enough well-organized and determined sandniggers in the neighborhood to beat a small army. So no, no happy ending here either. But honestly I don't see that sort of disaster in the US, I mean is Mexico gonna invade or what? You're also likely too far south for a Carrington Event frying your grid plus your Californian bedrock is a good conductor to ground induced currents.
