There's always secondary industries, as long as there are people there will
be a grocer, etc.  Maybe someone sells crocheted doilies out of his home.
Also, some people are very attached to their homes, and may hang on and
commute to work in another town.  The town could hold on for maybe a
generation under these conditions.

This is what I've been contemplating, really.  How long do you think the
stubborn ones would hang on with no means of support?
