- 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.

I'd imagine it'd help make the unhoused who don't want to have to deal with drunk people feel a lot safer about using them.
Have you seen alcohol withdrawal?
You let them continue until they can get a spot in a medical setting where they can safely withdraw.
No, alcohol withdrawal can cause seizures and death. A shelter is not a safe place, especially because they won't have alcohol for emergencies.
So you want to create an alternate society in the wilds?
Well that's one I haven't thought about since the last time I read Brave New World and thought, good thing we'd never do that.
This you?
So what are the people who depend on alcohol supposed to do? They aren't allowed to have seizures and go through withdrawal there either.
