- Henri Lefebvre, The Right to the City — 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.

I wish I was "cold", I'm friggin' hot all the time. I need a personal AC suit.
I really wish I was cold too. I have to work in an open air factory and long island summers succcccckkkkkkk lol
Ahhh, Lonnng Island... I was born at Bayshore. Flew the coop while still in diapers.
Small world! That's pretty cool! I wish I could get out, but for the last like 3 years everyone is singing the song of "omg a recession is coming" so I keep waiting lol
Do they really call it “iced tea” there? Also that might explain why you feel hot all the time…
Yeah if it's a tea and usually lots of sugar that is kept cold then we'd call it iced tea. I think if it's like actually "served" at a restaurant or whatever it should be in a glass with ice too so that's probably really where the name came from. Now if it's just cold tea we'd call it iced tea lol
Then there's the "long Island iced tea" which is a cocktail lol
