It puts the fun into “In 2000 we’ll have flying cars” when the whole XXth century was spent building highways and ramps that were higher and higher into the air, and the whole XXIth will be spent trying to put them underground. The real futurist landscape is a city like Lyon in France, or Amsterdam, where cars are put away and we walk or bike to work.
Flying cars is a dream of baby boomers. To everyone else, this is a nightmarish scenario of unending noise and exhaust spewing from these baby boomers flying over the residential areas.
I will skip the ignorant ageat drivel, but why would there be exhaust spewing any more than any car, electric or otherwise? The noise point is fair, as passing airliners are already quite loud, and I am quite far from any airport.

Well, you wouldn’t expect a baby boomer to drive something tiny and electric, right? Traditionally it’d be a V8 engine pickup truck.

Many sites are using adblocker blockers (including this one) don’t know about Brave but μblock origin fails for this site on Firefox mobile on iOS
I use uBlock on Firefox Android, as well as AdAway (which functions as a DNS adblocker) and I had no problem, and no ad.
The site uses https://www.getadmiral.com/, they call it adblock recovery solution.
Firefox (and other browsers) on iOS are pretty limited in what they are allowed to do. It is quite likely Admiral is able to detect that easily compared to more robust solutions on Android.

Recently a regular ferry that goes between the island and the ferry building was established. It’s a very pleasant ride and they allow you to take your bike on it.
Sure, but that doesn't really change the dynamic of having to rely on public transit or private vehicles. In addition ferries are among the most expensive modes of transit with an outsized environmental impact. Against the backdrop of the city trying to move TI from Section 8 housing to luxury condos that's even worse, IMO. Either they're going to price it out of reach of the poors or they're going to force everyone…
100%. It can double up as maintenance route which is a plus. And this would make such a nice commute option for many in Oakland/Berkeley who now just WFH on principle.

Things must be different here (BC, Canada). I can't think of why I'd ever rent a hotel room when AirBnB's are usually a similar price and way more comfortable (usually). Unless I had a worry about cancellations I suppose.
AirBnB is like the proverbial curléd girl: When she was good, She was very good indeed, But when she was bad she was horrid.
This comment is Google's first hit for "curléd girl".
I don't know what that is, but it made me laugh!
