In an all-out civil war between the five New York City boroughs, with none of them having any contact with the outside world, Brooklyn wouldn’t win. Writers for Vice asked people on social media sites, staffers at NYC-based websites and others for their opinions, asking for input on several factors: population, terrain and waterfront, weaponry, resources and transit. Brooklyn won only one category, weaponry, based on two factors – Brooklyn has the only active-duty military fort in the city (Fort Hamilton), and more NYPD cops live here than in any other borough. Benjamin Kabak of Second Avenue Sagas is quoted as saying, “The Warriors were Brooklyn-based and beat everyone.” The overall winner, according to Vice, would be the Bronx because of its “hilly terrain, inland defenses, significant population and control of the viral water supply.”
