Where would it be and why?

The furry capital of the world is San Jose, California. Not San Francisco, like so many have claimed.

And San Jose is not San Francisco. They are thirty-five miles apart, and San Jose is nearly twice the size of San Francisco. I would estimate that two hundred convention-going furries live in the San Jose city limits, with another three to four hundred convention-going furries living in the surrounding cities in Santa Clara County (Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, etc.)

But Atlanta runs it into a pretty close second? I am aware of the distinction between the two and I can also understand the rivallry formed between them - we have similar cities like that in England too.

I wouldn't call Atlanta a close second. Atlanta, Chicago, and Los Angeles are all about even with each other, with Orlando and Boston not too far behind. But the Bay Area is clearly and IMO undisputedly first, with San Jose the capital.

*nods* - that's settled then. Is this in the world, or just the US?

San Jose is the capital of the furry fandom worldwide. I didn't say anything about the other cities relative to cities outside the U.S., just to each other.

Interesting, perhaps we should all invade it then :)
