@Cosmichomicide Coupsolini's "Freedom Cities" sound like cheesy 1950s sci-fi.
As for the vertical takeoff and landing vehicles -- that idea is so old that the people who developed the field aren't just retired, they're dead. That stuff was big news in the 1970s, and in fact the research made takeoffs and landings safer for all kinds of fixed wing aircraft. Good stuff, but about as futuristic as CB radio.
