    1. Restricted airspace. They’d never fly in the immediate DC area, for example - it’s mostly a no-go zone with exceptions for National Airport and College Park Airports. The restricted zone actually extends beyond the beltway - which excludes the space where traffic is worst and flying cars would be most useful. (Freeway airport in Bowie has a section of the restricted zone carved out for it, but the airport is closing.) Even if you are authorized to fly into the zone, it’s not as simple as, “Hey today I need to drive to Georgetown.”

    DC might be an extreme example, but I assume many cities have restrictions on flights above them.





  • I know this is a problem, as I see my wife deal with it frequently.

    But understand that men’s sizes aren’t consistent either. I have a 32" waist…maybe. Some jeans and shorts fit me perfectly, some are way too tight, and some are way too loose. Even within the same brand and product. The jeans I have on today are pretty good for fit. A different pair of jeans I was wearing a few days ago required regular adjustments to keep from falling down. My weight hasn’t varied THAT much.

    The situation for men isn’t as bad as women’s sizes, though. I’d love to know how they think they can compress all of the different measurements a woman’s body can have into a single number. At least they haven’t tried that with men - for example, pants are waist and inseam length, so you can usually get what you need, or at least pretty close (notwithstanding the above issue). If they condensed that into one number, I have no idea how that would work.
