air rights have nothing to do with monetizing the air we breathe but instead with the space above the land you own, which shouldn't be impeded by a neighbor. imagine you own a home and your neighbor builds an addition onto the 2nd story of their house that goes above your property. without air rights, they could say they're not on your property since they're not touching your land. same idea here

Cities are the only place you would have to do this and they have to purchase it because you own the land and air rights of your property essentially to the center of the earth and up into the atmosphere, I say essentially because they’re are cutoff points but it’s so high/low it’s irrelevant, you don’t want people building on your property so you sell them the rights, it’s the same way when people sell mineral rights to oil/gas in their land that they don’t want drill themselves you make it seem back but this is protecting the land/property owner from big money doing whatever they want over/under someone’s land
