- 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.

This is what I'm thinking. Like nuclear power plant disasters, they aren't all that bad for nature. Nature will LOVE reclaiming them, but are they the solution for you and me?
Today they are for the rich, absolutely. Tomorrow they'll be for those of us who don't mind all the problems they'll have(mostly plumbing, leaks, and some structural issues, I imagine). Oh, and the cities trying to condemn them. The cities are way to happy to condemn structures that people(squatters, and why not?) are perfectly happy to live in.
