The original home of Green Arrow, Star City (on TV once known as Starling City), has been through some $#!%. Remember at the tail end of post-Crisis continuity, during the events of the seems-like-it-was-badly-named Brightest Day, when THIS happened to the metropolis?
Well, whatever its problems in the present day (everything from rampant crime and inequity necessitating a Robin Hood figure to mysterious on-the-nose landscaping), we've known since 1968 that Star City would make it. According to Adventure Comics #364, Star City didn't wait for Earth to blow up in the Five Years Later era to take to the stars.
Probably took its name to heart a touch too much, but hey, if it works for them! Note that they kept the green motif! I wonder if Oli-3 originally came from there.
Regardless, he lives in Metropolis now, so maybe something bad happened to Star City again.
