Throw away the 21st, 20th, and even big chunks of the 19th century. Sure, why not?I would suggest moving away from the big cities.
And while you're at it, throw away the modern economy. Cool beans.You need to get somewhere you can be self-sufficient and live off the land.
From what I've read of these situations bad things do indeed happen, but it doesn't descend into the charnel house of so much bad disaster porn either.When people in the cities start to starve, all hell will break loose and you don't wan't to be near that many people desperate enough to kill you for a can of beans.
The countryside has agriculture and raw materials. The city has production capacity and infrastructure. They need each another.
Or for that matter even possible.I'm not saying it's practical or fair.
