- 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.

MODERATORS
Cyclists are just trying to match their motoring brethren who consistently ingone signs, traffic lights, and speed signs anyway
Oh, yes? How many cars have you seen recklessly racing through pedestrian zones? Where do you see more than half the cars ignoring red lights?
I live in North America, so I see cars ignoring speed limits on literally every road.
I see cars ignoring red lights when they turn right on red without ensuring there are no pedestrians in the crossing. I also see cars beginning crossing the intersection while the light is already red (in my own town this is such a problem, its common practice to wait a couple seconds after the light turns green to go).
I see cars consistently treating stop signs as yield.
That is seriously bad. And your cops are probably busy doing American Cops things instead of making sure the city is safe and sound.
Canadian cop things. Not quite as bad as the Yanks, but still not great.
