Everyone on Earth lives on an island, because all land bodies are surrounded by water. I think what you're talking about is ease of access to an urban environment.
Back to the subject at hand, I think that things are goimg to get significantly worse before they get better. I'd visit if I had the freedom to take things day by day, but if I needed to know a week in advance that things will be fine, then I would stay away.
