Obviously, we need to install a vacuum-tube system like at banks to "chute" entire families out of town. Just drop the tube in the slot, hit "send," and chute yourself to the city of your choice.

Won't work. There'll be a discrimination lawsuit the first time some 400-pound fatty can't fit into the tube. Then, of course, there will be a wrongful death lawsuit the first time granny's oxygen tube comes out or she suffers "deceleration trauma".

You can't do anything effective nowadays unless the most feeble and incapable among us are able to access it.

So I guess this idea won't "fly."
