A community to discuss solarpunk and other new and alternative urbanisms that seek to break away from our currently ecologically destructive urbanisms.
- 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.

Why do you think this is true? Where do you think this is true?
Why? Common sense. On flat land, in a town, speed of: Person ~<4mph. Bicycle ~<14mph. Motor vehicles ~30mph+. Bicycles sharing lanes with cars is stupid and causes dissent and death. Bicycles sharing lanes with pedestrians causes way less death. Government should stay out of it if they're going to mandate endangerment, which is what has happened in many areas.
Why do I not consent or conform to governments' decision to tell cyclists to use the road? Because it's a stupid fucking decision.
