Climate Change

These days the climate is a pretty controversial subject. No one *really* knows what's happening; theories are flying, blah blah blah. The physical setting of Lucy's story is giving me trouble. Where should she live? Every book that truly sucks me in to the story is set in a very distinct location, somewhere that fits the protagonist perfectly! I know I've read a handful of books with severely mismatched locales, and it totally ruined the story for me. So I'm having some trouble deciding where her life should be.

She's definitely not a country girl. No small towns here! But is she meant for the "big city", a la New York? Certainly if I'm going to introduce a corporate conglomerate it will have to be based in a fairly sizable and business oriented city. Am I stuck with New York?
