    I just come back from a furry con hosted in hotel in China, and learn how every furry con like this completely break hotel's elevators:

    - rooms are all booked

    - young furries usually share one room with 4 or even up to 6 friends

    - more guest room-lobby-ballroom traffic

    - far more inter-guest-floor traffic than their usual tourists

    - one full-suit furry take 1.5-2 human's space

    Their elevators are not designed for this scenario and got overloaded all the day. Queueing for tens of minutes is not uncommon.

      I would really love to see a regular a blog that details all the ways the world will need to adapt to furries. There are endless engineering challenges here!

      Also, any spiritual successors to Sim Tower needs to include furry-con as a disaster scenario.

      The heck. If I was in that hotel and the lift door opened to 4 guys in a furry costume, I’d be taking the next one. I’m sure that’d contribute
