What's the best kind of building to be in during an outbreak?

Depends on your location, the breed of zombie, etc.

Initial outbreak: stay away from hospitals, and areas that are known as public places, people panic...wait in your house for as long as the panic lasts or as long as you can, make sure you have tinned food, it keeps longer than fresh, and for godssake, barricade areas that could be easily Accessible to Z's and make sure you only let Humans in not Z's.

After the outbreak: Your house is a good initial base but it will attract scavengers and zombies alike, the plave I live at there is this TV tower thing, if a zombie outbreak happened I would go there, one way in AND out, steep cliffs on either side and one area has a fence around it...gets a bit chilly though.
Find and asses buildings that you go to regularly (before the outbreak) find their weaknesses that you can without getting into trouble, then see the areas you would go to in order to scavenge from them.

Buildings: No building will be safe to begin with, but I'd say that buildings that have a veiw of it's surroundings is a damned good choice, orplaces that have only one entry/exit point, though it may get difficult, all you have to do is have watches (people on watch),

Try to find a building away from the rest of te world in other words...k?

Right now im stuck in a suburban city. We've been here for two years. the good thing is that we have the entire neighborhood under control (for now). We got about twenty houses under our watchful eye. If any survivors need a place to stay we've got them covered...

Okay, how well have you got the outer houses barricaded, They'll be the ones under the most threat, Then tell me about the streets, I kinda need specifications if I am gonna help you, no offence intended, I just need specifications, 'sall! Oh and I'll need to know how many Surv's you got and how you have them set up (centralized, spread out, etc)

Pews, yes I mean church pews, the very heavy ones that take a small army to lift!

Brilliant for barricading doors, but it isn't too goo for outer defences...May require some effort to move!

Churches are good, Large wooden or steel doors to stop forced entry. Usually multiple escape routes and good defense positions. I'll go with a church anyday.

Ahh multipule escape routes mean multipul entrances as well, and theres a chance that the church is already, um, shall we say "occupied" by some less inviting residents, but yeah, churchs are good for defence, but I think I'd go for something isolated, like a small mountain or something, google earth: Tas, Mt Wellington, It has a little concrete building on it, thats where I'd go!

Sorry, I have to disagree, at least for the initial outbreak. In the time of the zom-pacolypse many will turn to religion to save them, which means severely crowed chuches, all it takes is one bite victim to turn that into a large mob of undead.
