It's a well established fact that post-apocalyptic municipalities are only as dramatic as their constant risk of being overwhelmed by the undead/robots/undead robots. That said, viewers have noted that Alexandria doesn't boast much consistency when it comes to presenting its struggles.
One user described the plight of Alexandria — "starving to death as we speak," as they put it — before pointing out that the response to a lack of resources was for "The one group they sent to find food" winding up "70% dead and busy spending their day digging a hole in the woods and plotting to kill an entire community." Or, to put it another way, "you guys had one job."
Meanwhile, the very fact that anyone would stay in the safe zone perplexed others. One user rhetorically spoke on behalf of the people of the settlement, saying "I think we should stay in Alexandria, with its 1/2 burned buildings, walls that seemingly leak in walkers at an amazing rate, where our land is destroyed and there are NO new resources to be found." If nothing else, it goes to show you that the real estate market is cutthroat even after the fall of civilization.
