Now see, THAT I would be willing to save up $37,000 dollars for! My own laser-shooting, leopard spotted, hypoallergenic kitty cat to do all of my evil bidding.

Good plan, and it applies to coworkers as well - you never know where you'll be when the zombie attacks strike. I'll bring this up tomorrow during the weekly wellinar and see how it flies.

Let me know how that goes. It's something I've always wanted to bring up at work: Do we have a Zombie Survival Contingency Plan, and what are the companies obligations to its employees.

Hm. I never thought of food being the cause of death, rather than a must-have for a shelter. Do regular grocery stores have back up generators, in case of power outages?
What about an apartment building instead of a series of houses, built on the same kind of pier-system that you mentioned in your previous post? That's pretty high off the ground and you'd have a much easier time trying to convince someone to actually build this - for instance, imagine trying to convince your current neighbors that they need to elevate their homes, and could they also please give you open access, just in case of zombies?
Of course, with an apartment building there's the drawback that (in order to restock) you have to go into either creepy stairwells or the elevator, which is a small metal deathtrap, really. All in all, I think I'd prefer the ocean, although that definitely limits the amount of supplies, and could end in accidental death without experienced sailors.
Who would have thought that this was so complicated? Good grief. :-P

Leanne,
Great points. As far as the back up generators - I don't think that they regularly do, because I have read about or seen where long term power outages are a big problem for grocery stores. Although I imagine some of the bigger ones might. But, back up generators only last as long as your supply of gasoline.
The apartment building is not a great idea, unfortunately. For reference you can check out my post on high-rises which is a similar concept: Urban Zombies and High Rises.
The basic idea is that a tall building is like a can. If you're in one end of the can, and the other end is open - you're in a trap. It makes you vulnerable to attacks from all angles, makes escape nearly impossible, and then of course there's the problem with tall buildings and fires. And, you're spot on about the stairways being death traps.
The ocean is a great idea. Don't forget to stock up on supplies, fuel, and fishing supplies - and remember that zombies can live under water, and occasionally float!!
Thanks for the comment,
Justin

The thing about the ocean that bugs me (besides the whole floating zombie thing) is hurricanes. What do you do? Where do you go for cover if your only way to land is thick with zombies and there's a cat 3 or worse headed your way? Not only that, but with communication being down, you wouldn't have any warning until the storm was right on top of you.
