- 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 imagine there's some confounding variable that is highly correlated to car ownership.
Maybe zip code.
Zip code, income, race, age, social consciousness, climate consciousness....so many variables that are highly correlated to car ownership
Well, income is controlled for, so it's not that.
I doubt any kind of consciousness has that degree of correlation. People that live in a situation that demands a car get a car, people with good alternatives get way fewer cars, mostly independently on how they thing. (My guess is that consciousness correlates much better to car model than to the car/no car choice.)
