A group of transit activists have dropped eight benches of their own making into the Mission, where residents are (mostly) grateful.

Doesn’t sound like much, but waiting for a bus on a bench can make a huge difference.

Guerrilla urbanism is awesome!

Pretty cool to think of installing benches at bus stops. Anybody got an easy how to build a simple bench for cheap/free if using free wood?

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.
