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.

thats disingenuous to break down transportation, but not the other sectors. Like energy's largest contributor is coal, also at around half the sector's total emissions. But yeah, it's definitely significant, and renewable energy gains synergistically increase emissions reductions from transportation sector switching to EV's.

I was just refuting / giving context to this:

For the entire US, personal vehicles are the largest source of emissions.

A lot of the fuckcars types think banning cars will fix the climate, just like vegans think banning meat will fix the climate. I was trying to head off any comments in that direction.

We need to do all of the things.
