"Where's my flying car? I WANT MY FLYING CAR!"

FOX reported that 65% of blacks and 75% of whites owned vehicles in NO. I kept asking WHY no mention of this fact was made when footage after footage showed cars littering the streets and driveways of even the poorest areas.

Remember when they tried to make the Kansas City School System into the multicultural system of the future?

I forgot about the schools system! There you going, trying to spend all our $200 billion in one place...

Paddle boats won't work. They take some effort.

Let the Disney people have it.

"Flying cars no city of tomorrow is complete without flying cars."

IMHO flying school buses would be more appropriate for the Big Easy.

Pedal power will serve two purposes. No pollution and good excercise.

Ouch!

"What about us drunken slobs?"

[Puddleglum]

"Not on your life, my Hindu friend!"

"Were you sent here by the devil?"

"You'll be given cushy jobs!"

Check out Skyway Express for an interesting alternative to light rail or buses for public transit.

[Puddleglum]

To my mind, the near-noiseless public transportation system should hover just slightly about a magnetized track and make a sound like "thribbbbbbb." Never mind - I can't do it in type.

Flying cars no city of tomorrow is complete without flying cars.

Just remember three simple words: Air Traffic Control.

As long as we don't have to wear those weird spandex suits they always seemed to be wearing in the "city of tomorrow"...

Actually, I think it would be a great idea to work out a creative plan and put in all sorts of neat gadgets. But it will only work if a lot of it is somehow turned over for competition in the private sector. Otherwise we'd have something sort of like any government facility - Leavenworth, say.

A link would help... http://www.skywebexpress.com/

Another advantage is that with the elevated rails, it would probably run higher than flood levels, as long as the power stations are also elevated...

Rebuilding puts me in mind of the comment about the Tacoma bridge:

If the same bridge is built in the same place it will fail in the same way...
