That is assuming 150m per year remains constant. It would significantly increase over years. Unless we get flying cars or some other fancy transportation tech in next 25 years.
They’ll never happen. Not with the public walking underneath anywhere that traffic goes to, such as schools, retail, churches and everything else. The possibility of crashes/failures happening and now you have vehicles plummeting to the earth will cause no flying cars. Nobody would insure anything.

I see what you're saying, but I don't think that's what'll stop them ... sorry about the snark, but I felt the parallel needed to be drawn somehow and this way amused me
In other words more income inequality where the rich Sky People can raise the levels of their expansive apartment buildings so they don't have to hear the poors rioting below.
If cars could morph into a freaking briefcase upon arrival at the destination, the world would be a better place. Think, all those stupid parking lot fights just…..poof….. gone.
And it can't decrease! There's a rider in the contract if the city closes street parking for reasons that the city itself has to pay for the time that the closure occured.
It's fucking absurd and honestly, any politician worth his salt would just rip it the fuck up and say "Fuck you. You made this deal with a corrupt asshole."
The city can't just go around and rip up any contract it doesn't like. Or that now has unfavorable terms. I'm not saying this isn't due to corruption, but that needs to be proven. Because where is the line, who decides what's "obviously" due to corruption, and not just someone being stupid, short-sighted or favoring a quick win now over someone else's problem tomorrow?
Would you enter into a contract with the city (in good faith) if you knew that if that contract becomes unpopular, or is seen as unfavorable, the city might just rip it up? How much profit is too much profit?
Prove that the contract is unlawful, then rip it up.
How about, and im just spitballing here,, a massive expansion in taxis after 2008 following gig apps like uber, and immediately followed up again with self driving taxis that don't need to ever park?
