They are literally not. Accidents from these can potentially devastate neighborhoods. There is no need for this. There is a need for mass transit, full stop.
As Lauren (npub1yf7…xe48) points out, it's just toys for the rich. These make no economic sense.
And that's before you recognize that they literally are not going to happen. They haven't got a working prototype, nor have they started with the FAA, which takes a decade.
