That quote comes from an article ( https://grist.org/climate-energy/the-least-sustainable-city-phoenix-as-a-harbinger-for-our-hot-future/ https://grist.org/climate-energy/the-least-sustainable-city-... ) that argues that multiple infrastructure failures would be a disaster. I agree that there's a risk here in such an extreme scenario, though that's exactly why those services are as robust as they are.
My response is that if you aren't prepared for the A/C to go out during the summer or for your car to break down, then you're living on the edge. It's easy to put yourself in a bad spot.
I think we're okay, so I challenge the notion that were not, but it's something we need pushback on to keep us sharp. There are problems everywhere and it's key that we focus on ours.
