- Henri Lefebvre, The Right to the City โ In brief, the right to the city is the right to the production of a city. The labor of a worker is the source of most of the value of a commodity that is expropriated by the owner. The worker, therefore, has a right to benefit from that value denied to them. In the same way, the urban citizen produces and reproduces the city through their own daily actions. However, the the city is expropriated from the urbanite by the rich and the state. The right to the city is therefore the right to appropriate the city by and for those who make and remake it.

Yeah, sound dampening regulation. I mean it's not that i have never heard anybody complain about their neighbours noise or them hearing phantom noise, so "just be gone" is maybe a bit over the top, although new appartment buildings are very well sound proofed.
The social aspect.. i guess people just don't usually use their powertools in the night. Is more like a social contract but you could call the cops for that.
I am just surprised how often this is being brought up in appartment discussion in NA, i don't think it is that big of a problem here. Top comment on that video is "4 bedroom apartments with good sound isolation from neighbours would be SICK", which seems kind of normal to me, although 4 bedrooms sure are on the bigger end.
