Yes! Like many other baby-boomer dreams, the dream of "flying cars" in reality is an ugly noisy nightmare for the city.
It's the same story of building bridges and super-highways, through the downtown because they "look good" and "let you put your name on it", without caring for the residents.
For transportation we need tunnels, not bridges.
And if you want something flying other the city - build a silent glider that uses only the energy of raising currents of air and gravity to accelerate for take off and decelerate to land. Or another silent vehicle. Not a stupid noisy flying car.
