The problem with that EJR is that this town is being built as a test bed for new technology. The owners have a vested interest in keeping people out.
Sure, but these owners, and the people who the owner pays to keep people out, will not be around, and will be protecting their own, when the SHTF.
Intel may be somewhat hard to get, but simply knowing locations, and maybe any passive security may be a good thing to know. Just saying.
There are probably much easier ways to getting locations that I was talking about above, so you're right, might be a long shot and just over all too difficult to even consider as viable options. Maybe a last ditch type thing, though?
