Helicopters crash. I would not say routinely. But it's far less safe than a fixed-wing aircraft. There are serious safety issues with tens of thousands of VTOL craft zipping around in a city. You'd have one whacking into the side of an office tower or falling out the sky regularly. It already happens from time to time and we really only use them for medical evacuations and the police here. They're also expensive and hard to maintain.
