...of the idea. Witch is essentially, advertisement aside, "the wealthy who happen to live nearby cities, witch happen to be open-sky prisons^w^w factories stuffed with services to achieve the Chinese lockdown with workers who live in the factory, to work, of course ehrm, to achieve the best work life balance (better not say the best to who) can came and go from such erh smart cities in full comfort with means that made things closer, like if they live inside the city and goes with cars.
...In the LONG term, that means we can benefit from the economy of scale living "near" but far less dense than today so at that point in time we have finally found a way to live sufficiently flexible to withstand the technological, social and climate change still being near enough to be social and have economy of scale phenomenon.
Or: in the short term we need a good solution for those who can pay, in the medium terms slaves ahem citizens have built a new society and new generations will finally benefit from such progress...
In theoretical terms: maintaining roads network is expensive, far expensive if we also need to build new ones, like a potential future arctic "anthropization" due to climate change, so better made few railroads and waterways for heavy loads transports and live humans in the air, far more flexible and cheap. At a certain point in time if we are still alive as a species we will reach that point. Then the "self-sufficiency push" will be the key to reach that goal in an unspecified future.
Ps if they loose power there is AFAIK only an emergency parachute for the entire plane. Only it demand, I suppose, a certain altitude to being able to be deployed...
