Where would it be and why?

I say we take over a country and call it home!

I'm very tempted to say Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA, not only because Anthrocon is held there, but because the city loves furries.

I think San Francisco, just because of the tolerant atmosphere. And lots of furs are into tech, as well.

St. Louis.

Just because I said so.. and that's all that matters :P

I nominate Catford - home of the Catford Cat

Well, hell, if SF has any claim to it, Atlanta does too...

Atlanta is home to several conventions, and while only one of 'em is explicitly furry, the furries always seem to find a way to show up at each and every one of 'em.

Well as far as the United Kingdoms of Great Britain and Northern Ireland are concerned, I guess (begrudgently) London fits the title.

However I would state a case for Manchester calling. I make no bones in admitting I have complete bias, but I stand proud of being part of the Mancunian scene; things are moving in the city's favour from a successful fur convention, a monthly furmeet that is gradually being improved quality wise and a growing community in the wider county of Greater Manchester. :)

I'd love to say San Francisco since it has such a fun, tolerant atmosphere that a lot of furries would find ideal. The cost of living there makes it impossible for most furs to call it home, though. Expect to pay $1500 - 2000/month for a studio/1-bedroom apartment. Most furs in the bay area live in the south bay: San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale Palo Alto, etc...and most of the tech jobs are located in these areas as well.

I'm not sure there is one, now.

Before 1996, it was Orange County, California. That was the epicenter of original furry culture; a huge number of furries were concentrated there, and it was only natural for ConFurence to spring up in Costa Mesa.

Between 1996 and 2003, it was the San Francisco Bay Area. Lots of furries moved to the Bay Area in the mid and late 1990's. It became a hotbed of furry households, furry gatherings, and the new main convention, Further Confusion.

After 2003, with dozens of furry conventions sprouting up all over the country, AnthroCon taking over as the main convention, and decentralized communities of furries all staying in touch online, I'm not sure there really is a center or capital. It's very scattered. Certainly there's a huge presence on the East Coast now, but even there it's decentralized as more of a large region than any one small area. So I think it's "Everywhere and Nowhere," now :)

San Francisco works for me. But yeah, it's pricey.

The entire world!

It shall be ours and there is no stopping it! (Unless we get sidetracked by sex, food, balls of yarn, or chewtoys.)

How about New York City?

The home of the world's first Furry-friendly TV show, on cable since 1983.

And home of one of the world's longest running fursuiters...since 1986.

I vote THE INTARWEBS!!

[metamorphosys.livejournal.com]

I have no idea. Sorry :( Take care.

I say we make it in my pants.

"Janner's pants - furry capital of the world" has a certain *ring* to it don't ya think?

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.)

This would be a good use for Google Wave. XD
