- 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.

Induction or generally an electric stove should not be against regulation. Is it a problem of outdated 110V cabling in the US?
Electric ranges definitely exist here so the stated reasoning alone doesn’t make sense. My guess is the developers didn’t want to pay for higher voltage wires as you allude to. Seems pretty solvable but I a lot of people in the US barely cook so I guess it works for those people.
There's tabletop electric burners and induction burners thar run off standard 110 outlets, I wonder if those would be allowed?
We get 240v. Just most household outlets are 120v. Notable exceptions that get the full 240v are ovens and stoves. I figure there's more to it, just not easy to cover without taking over the entire video.
