Urban areas are already pretty well optimized by the traditional system. Urban population density makes good use of a delivery van's cargo capacity. Drone deliveries would make more sense in suburban or rural situations, where a drone can be more efficient than a whole delivery van traveling somewhere to deliver a single package.

If drone delivery doesn't work in a metro the size of Los Angeles or Cincinnati, then it doesn't work anywhere.
