Does this look to you like a thinly disguised view of disaster escape routes from major American cities?

It does to me. Specifically, it sounds as if it’s saying don’t think this looks like a plan.

Washington Post:

(Story might be behind a paywall.)

What is the benefit of getting people all worked up? If there’s a catastrophe, people aren’t going to make it out of the cities with enough to live on for more than about three days. Why worry about it?
