I live in Salt Lake City. It's got some problems. It sits in a valley, where all the pollution accumulates. It doesn't get enough rain. It can't grow enough food for the people who live here.
The last one is perhaps the worst. In a societal breakdown, this place will be in serious trouble on food. So one criterion for me is that it gets enough rain that it can grow enough food to feed everyone in the area.
Am I expecting societal breakdown in my lifetime? No. But if I'm going to move, I want to move to a place that's better able to deal with it if it comes.
