Ah, so he's a not-spoiled rich person as well, cool! ^^ Just like Shaun, although Shaun does enjoy luxury with his car tuning hobby by sometimes doing stupid things: he decided to put a six litre V12 engine in a robin reliant and drove it via remote-control into a concrete wall because he was bored during one week of summer vacation, all financed from his pocket money!
If someone insults him, he'll just keep going and going until the insulter can't take it anymore. He got better at keeping his mouth shut after he was beaten up pretty badly at work.
But he's not a jerk. he just firmly believes that he should defend himself. A little too much...

Dont worry, AshRail, the underground metro system, is fucking efficient like Singapore's MRT and can handle it. The trains are fast, there are a lot of lines in a very simple system and it's very easy to change lines.
If that's not enough, in addition to buses, cars and taxis, it's the only city in the world with a public helicopter taxi and bus services, the HeliTaxi. Basically several skyscrapers throughout the city are designated Heliports, which special 50-seater passenger Chinooks shuttle between like buses. From these Heliports, smaller helicopters can then be rented as your taxi to your final destination of a nearby skyscraper or other location with a helipad.
In addition, you can have a private one which basically replaces your car. All buildings over a certain height must have a mandatory helipad, and may be even encouraged to become a heliport if determined by HeliTaxi.
Pretty cool, eh?

Yeah I kinda have, I even thought of the airport. Try this, Ashville International Airport has six runways all operating and is even larger and busier than Heathow!
Heathrow handles 66 million passengers a year
Ashville International handles 68 million
It's a gateway to America from Europe and and western Asia, and is consequently a very, very busy airport

Wow, a map, that's gonna be hard to draw, maps are always such a pain in the butt to draw, I find (I hated drawing them in geography) but I've actually fully thought out the location of Ashville. Here's a map of vermont
http://www.vermonter.com/images/vermontmap.gif
If you can see to the northwest of the state there's a lake, that's Lake Champlain, and Ashville is located on the southern half of it's shores, south of burlington. In real life Burlington is Vermont's largest city, but in my universe it's a suburb :D
I've even thought of how it's energy needs are met. 80% of the city's power is provided by the world's largest nuclear power station: The Green Mountains nuclear facillity. Running down the middle of Vermont is a mountain range called the Green Mountains, and the entire power station is underground, buried in the heart of the mountains, which was dug out without disturbing the surface. This was done as a safety measure, so in the event of a chernobyl disaster the explosion wil be contained underground and not release radiation into the air.
The power plant is the largest in the world, with 8 nuclear reactors each generating 2000 MW, for a grand total of 16,000 MW of power. The other 20% of power needs are met by wind farms on the green mountains and solar panels on buildings. The city has a feed-in tariff program, where if you have solar panels or small wind turbines you can feed it to the power grid and get paid for the electricity you produce, just like Germany and other EU countries. That's why some skyscrapers their exteriors are just clad with solar cells

Yup, from biggest city to a suburb. Mind you, it's a major suburb but still, it got swallowed by Ashville.
Yeah, I've been thinking about this city for a long time. It actually predates me being in the furry fandom. It used to be the setting for a comic series I drew for years before i became a furry. I needed a place in the US that gets snow on a regular basis (because around winter I'd draw a lot of snow-related jokes) and my US Geography was limited at the time (I was year 6) and we were studying seasons in geography, and they used Vermont, USA for a case study of Winter, so I picked it.
Over the years I've slowly developed the city, deciding where the location was, the population, water resources, trade, size of the city, industry, infrastructure (at one point the city was a heavy-industry city and had a major port to fuel it, connected to the Saint Lawrence Seaway and hence, the Atlantic by a massive canal).
So Ashville today is really just a current evolution. I've retired that old comic, btw
