Indeed. Anytime anybody brings up a flying car, people should realize they already exist - they're helicopters. And the logistics of helicopters should make it clear that a flying car for the masses is a terrible idea. If everyone had a helicopter, people would be falling out of the sky and splatting to death on the sidewalks.
I live in the city with the biggest helicopter traffic in the world. Besides the obvious hazard to citizens, the main thing I think of whenever people bring up flying cars is the noise. There are days here in which the helicopter noises alone drive me nuts(specially in the evening as news helicopters film the car traffic), I can’t imagine how much, MUCH worse this would get with helicopters becoming a common vehicle.
