Franky, IMO, any current or near-future expansion scenario is a fantasy. I don't think it will happen in real life. All of the potential cities have their problems. So we might as well have our fun with it, try to make it "realistic-ish," and carry on. In that sense places like Charlotte and Portland qualify.
