- 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 can tell you that I would not take on any anlwning jobs. I'm quite busy enough without the hassle of drilling into brick or dealing with rotten headers or any of that crap. I'd guess $1000/window would be a starting price. How many windows do you have? Do you want to recover the awnings every 7-10 years and take them up and down twice a year? Or buy an air conditioner now and again. That's why the awning trade has died. Except for automatic ones that come in a box.
AC isn't the kind of thing you have to crank the energy for 15 Million Merits. Don't see why an awning should cost a popular media labor of obligation versus just burning oil and, of course, the whole fucking planet. I'd call you (as in everyone, nothing personal) a sloth but I ain't trying to insult that mammal.
You should proof read your comments. That reads like a tweaker's stream of consciousness.
Okay, nix that earlier meta-direction of a reference. I do now, in fact, make a personal insult.
