One of the phenomena I have briefly described in my sketches for a New England sourcebook/module is "consolidation". The population of New England coalesces into defensible cantonments that resemble medieval towns. Suburban sprawl becomes vast swaths of untenanted land patrolled by hunters, salvagers, militia, the insane, and those who prey on other humans. It's this process of consolidation that leads to the rise of hordes.
