- Henri Lefebvre, The Right to the City β 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.

Woah! I have never heard of it being used like that! Thanks for sharing
These kind of thermosiphon systems are still very common in southern Europe and many developing countries around the world.
We had a solar water heater when I was growing up. It worked great in the summer in NM, for a very short period of time. Mostly we boiled water for dishes and baths (we did not have an indoor bathroom, so a bath was a Wild West style metal tub). But the solar heater was the only way to heat the shower (which too was outside).
