- 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.

Our tiny, merciless, exploitative, sociopathic oligarch class just skew the numbers.
This place fucking sucks. Always has. Even the supposed "good" times were held up by an explicit, abused underclass. People that take pride in this fucking place are strange to me. Then again I'm against self-delusion in the name of positive feels. 🤷
Sir, this is an Arby's...
In that case, I'll take the 2 for $6 beef and cheddars, small curly fry, and a cherry turnover please.
