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.

Great work by residents. But next time they need to have a more organized force to keep the city at bay, bring in the media, call their reps in the city council, etc.

You can’t beat the government in force but you can embarrass them until they give up.

A sideshow near me ended with everyone fleeing after a Charger drifted into a traffic signal and knocked out power to the block.

That's reckless driving, man.

Like, takeover a Walmart parking lot. Drift at Costco. Doing it at an intersection next to an apartment? C'mon.
