I live in the North Pole. Beat that.

I live in the SOUTH pole. It's colder, bigger and more badass. Besides you gonna melt in 50 years. 
****, I'm fabulous

Since I live in one of the increasingly few low populated areas of Europe I guess it will be one of the few places that isn't part of a megacity. On the other hand all low altitude parts of the planet will be flooded so I guess all of you living there will have moved up to my cold and high altitude part of the world.

Not that this will save us when the reapers come.

My hometown has hardly changed in the past 100 years. I doubt the next 100 or so will be any different.

[Apollo Starflare]

The town I grew up in tends to lag 10 or 15 years behind the rest of the civilised world, I expect the gap will be even larger in 100 years haha.

The town I was born in would be a bit more advanced though I would imagine.

I live in Dunedin so my Shepards hometown is Dunedin

Dunedin, FL? I call BS. No one lives in Dunedin.
Tampa's my hometown, but I live in Gainesville now. Which by 2185 will be a suburb of Tampa. Or, to be more precise, the Tampa-Jacksonville-Atlanta megalopolis.

Mexico would probably look worse than Tuchanka, if the US and Canada would've been united as it says in the Statue of Liberty codex in Kasumi's LM.
Wonder how it will look though, the main menu of ME3 has an almost perfect view to the country.

My home town will likely be absorbed by Philadelphia.

I don't actually see my hometown of Tampa, FL changing all that much. Tampa proper, that is. They take the historical nature of the city pretty seriously, though buildings get repurposed fairly frequently. Downtown itself would be ripe for rebuilding with arcologies, but for a 5-10 mile radius outside downtown I imagine very little would change. Outside the historical section of town, however, you'd probably see more arcologies and vertical farming techniques, in what are right now neighborhoods like Carrolwood, New Tampa, Temple Terrace, etc., and pushing out into areas that Tampa hasn't yet expanded to. I see the Tampa megalopolis expanding out to cover places like Lakeland, Dade City, Brooksville, and eventually as far north as Ocala or even Gainesville, where the edges of Tampa would bump up against the edges of expanded Jacksonville and Atlanta.

I live in a small town in Kentucky that borders a lake. I'd guess they'll raise the lake to engulf the surrounding area so that it can be filled with fish to curb the lack of food. There might even be some sort of municipal center that floats at the tops to handle the business side. I'd just like to think Kentucky would contribute something to people other than bourbon and baseball bats.

Eh, I live in Sofia, Bulgaria. It can't possibly get worse and it seems that there is no way in hell that it can be allowed to get better, so I'm pretty sure it's going to stay this way for the next 300 years(if it's not demolished).

Tampa-Jacksonville-Atlanta? Dear god. Let's see, it normally takes me 7 hours to drive to Tampa from Atlanta. It can take me nearly 2 hours to drive ~30-35 miles to the center of Atlanta if I get caught in rush hour. If Tampa and Atlanta join up, I think the city will look like an airborne version of this:

Yeah, that seems about right. I imagine they'll convert I-75 (and most/all interstate highways) to high-speed rail lines.

From what I've seen, you guys will be lucky to have finished construction on I-75 by then. I'd been making the trip down there at least once a year since I was a little kid, and I think I always hit a patch of traffic where the highway was being expanded.

Oh, we regularly finish construction on 75. We just start over again almost immediately. Electing idiots will do that for you.

My thinking, though, is that eventually Tampa's expansion, combined with increasing oil prices, will reach a threshold where continued reliance on personal vehicles and the old interstate system will become not only theoretically unadvisable, but politically impractical. Tampa never built up, just out, and that's not changing any time soon. I expect Brooksville, 50 miles away from downtown Tampa, to be part of Tampa sometime in the next 50 years. Ocala & Gainesville in 100. Bumping into the ATL suburbs in 150. If your commute is 100 miles, two hours without traffic, and you're burning 4-5 gallons of $10/gal gas each way, you're not going to be happy. It makes sense to institute some sort of high-speed mass transit at that point. And you might as well link it with Atlanta and Jacksonville, since you're neighbors now.

My hometown will be underwater by then. The cliff is falling rapidly where I live. .

What do you think your home town will look like in 2186? Will it be as good/bad as it is now or will it get better/worse?

Well here's what I got for mine




Yup, my hometown is Athens...  and this pic is my first ever try of photoshop so cut me some slack 

Took me an hour to make...  Not really a serious vision of future Athens. Just something I did when I was bored.

Anyway, post what you think will happen to your hometown in 2 centuries... and if you got pics, post 'em as well!

First of all you are violating the height restriction law 360/76 that imposes severe height limitation on all new buildings in Athens. Secondly you can bet that during the digging of the foundations they will 99% find ancient stuff, which will delay the construction by God knows how many months/years till the Archaiologiki Ipiresia comes, evaluates the site, moves the antiquities and gives the green light. Thirdly it is evident that you are placing the towers in areas where important people live, like in Plaka so expect hell.

You claim to be from Athens but if you were really from there you would know these things and you would have placed the towers in areas like Ilion or Nea Filadelfia, areas of Athens that nobody cares about. I assume off course that in the planning there is space for the new AEK stadium eh?
