Don’t forget:
-
Out of control sea level rise due to climate change, which is why they all live up in the sky
-
Mutants in the lower levels
This I do not remember. Is this true?
IIRC the canon reason they are above the clouds is because of smog.
Just searched, and it looks like you’re correct.
Also, apparently there’s an episode where Spacely and Cogswell are arguing about real estate and they discuss a rule of Orbit City which requires all buildings to be at least 2200 feet off the ground (I assume from their “bottom”), which would make their homes roughly the top floors of the Burj Khalifa

Harvey Birdman: Mr. Boo Boo, would you consider yourself a revolutionary?
Boo Boo: Well, no. But I believe corporations rob us of our dignity and independence, and that these systems must be ripped down, or levelled by any force necessary… But that’s just one little bear’s opinion.
Harvey Birdman: A cute, fuzzy little bear. (smiles at jury) The defense rests

George still had to commute to work, didn’t he?
That’s the whole theme song. I don’t understand this meme.

A family of 4 living in an apartment with the dad having absolutely no job security? They really did predict the future.
And we used to want them all. But capitalism prevails, and we hate it.
Tbh the Jetsons was always a capitalist dystopia we were just seeing a white upper class family that benefitted from it
Where’s my damn flying car?
Fuck that, I’d rather have Penny’s Computer Book.

Oh wait.
They exist but are stupid expensive.
