> Most apartments don't have fire escapes
Show me the overlap between potential demand for drone delivery, on one hand, and people who have no porch, fire escape, balcony or window from which they can suspend a platform?

How many of those have a clear vertical space reaching to the sky?
Most balconies around me in a European capital have other balconies above them, all up to the roof, which would be the only suitable place for a drone to land. No fire escapes at 99% of the buildings here.
Suburban porches are covered. If you can land on a porch you can land on a balcony.
Fair enough, exempt luxury buildings with doormen and staff where they deliver packages to you anyway. Going off New York, San Francisco, Miami, London, Frankfurt, Roma, Napoli, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Montevideo, New Delhi, Bombay, Singapore, Taipei, Tokyo and Seoul, I think that covers it.
