>>>But, if it only hovered a few inches above the ground you wouldn't have the need to "architect cities around it".<<<

Tell this to the rollerbladers, cyclists and wayward pedestrians--lol! Personally, I'd prefer IT to hover above this crowd, since I'm always on blades. Of course, downtown traffic could be eliminated. That'd help. Perhaps a combo of all of the above, together with moving sidewalks and the mighty subways might solve it all. Of course, buildings could also change so as to allow air-porting for IT travelers. Hey, aren't we supposed to have a model futuristic city built somewhere in the desert? Whatever happened to that project? Anyone seen IT there?

PS: Sorry for repeat posts. Have no idea how it happened. Is SI now printing all edits?
