- 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.

We can do both!
i suppose we can cram people into old shipping containers and vans, but dont we have enough actual housing already?
There’s enough total housing.
But people need to be able to live where they have a chance of being hired. And some places don’t have enough housing.
thats fair. suppose we must push harder for remote work, its way better to the environment and much everytging else anyway.
No, there's not enough housing in the country this has been designed in.
The view would have been better if they left them on the uprights instead of dismantling them
interesting - I wonder what one would cost.
As with all tiny homes, I wonder what the property to put it on (with plumbing and services) will cost.
It's quite big.
What can we do with the blades?
Average sized anime swords?
There are some interesting projects turning them into pedestrian bridges and roofs for bike racks.
From the article:
"Stora Enso and Voodin Blade Technology GmbH are working on making sustainably sourced wood turbine blades that can easily be reused at the end of their lifespans, and Canvus is repurposing wind turbine parts into furniture."
