    Why are tax dollar being spent making it a little faster for rich FiDi people to get to JFK. Take the A train like the rest of us.

    There is so much infrastructure NYC could improve:

    • Biking Infrastructure
    • More subway routes in Brooklyn
    • Better ties to PATH and LIRR
    • Expanded and more reliable bus infrastructure

    And that is just what I can think in the moment.

      It’s about doing the most to distance themselves from common people.

    Absolute nonsense, flying taxis don´t even attempt to fix traffic. Instead they are just a workaround to fly over traffic jams, available exclusively for a few very rich people. New York should better build something that improves the overall flow of traffic, so all people benefit from it, like a citywide network of safe bike lanes for example.

    The air traffic around the city is already insane, weren’t they already talking about trying to reduce it? I can’t imagine this happens
