The neighborhood concept shouldn't be blown off. Actually, it is one of the very few viable solutions.
Look at many of the teams out there now. Many of the team members are an hour or more drive away from each other. If any event or crisis were to occur; they would be screwed before help could arrive.
With a properly prepared neighborhood, where everyone is interconnected with an off grid comm. system it would be difficult for any of them to be caught off guard. Within the neighborhood everyone watches each others back and is ready to respond at a minutes warning. If Joe Patriot's house is surrounded; it will only take a matter of minutes for the attackers to be surrounded and taken out themselves.
These same neighborhoods can not only supply their own needs but provide supply and logistical support for others who are resisting.
"The time for war has not yet come, but it will come and that soon, and when it does come, my advice is to draw the sword and throw away the scabbard." Gen. T.J. Jackson, March 1861
