- 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.

So. Are you saying that the original article is bs and wishful thinking? Preaching to the choir buddy. I guess then the other solution of incarceration sounds more reasonable huh? Alternative of course is to do nothing and let everybody in the city suffer. That I'm sure is acceptable to you, but not to people who live here like me.
So in your brain you somehow went from me saying this is a financially a bad idea and somehow translates that into "that I'm sure is acceptable to you " that the current system is ok?
That is some serious delusion that you have going.
Actually your math didn't make sense man. I figured it's useless to point out so I just moved on to inevitable conclusion.
Ok let's try this a different way. Lemmy is definitely left leaning. And yet your comments in this thread are being down voted. I going out on a limb and saying even left leaning individuals who believe in doing things like this realize this won't work.
Well you don't have to convince me that most people here are clueless.
