It kinda sounds like you just need your cities to have a “VTOL only” policy. No need to worry about complicated flight paths and sudden changes of direction if the aircraft is only going (roughly) straight up or down. Of course, with or without this kind of policy, no sane city planner would put a hovercraft terminal below tree cover such that pedestrians could not see descending hovercraft (or descending hovercraft couldn’t see ascending ones) until the last minute. Fortunately, many city planners and city councils in real life are bat shit insane, so it’s not exactly an immersion-breaking decision to have that still be an element of your cities.

Nah, people mostly just found ways to get around it. They’ve also, from what I’ve heard, loosened up a bit on the restrictions.

Learning Haskell made me feel like a mega dweeb but it was one of the more fun things I did in college!

You are not hunting the animals. Go set traps in the woods, gather a bunch of friends with sharpened sticks and some good throwing rocks, and drive some deer into your traps. That is what’s “natural.” Again, I think it’s fine if you choose to eat meat, but the meat industry is not “natural,” nor is it harmless.

Not even a vegan but this is such a bad argument lmao. Are you hunting the animals you eat? If not, you’re not just eating meat, you are directly participating in a system that tortures them before they die. Factory farms are horrific. If you’re gonna eat meat and animals products, fine, but don’t pretend like it’s just “what’s natural.”
