So, the automatic text description pulled from YouTube gives context but doesn't summarize the video. How does breaking rules create better apartments? What rules? What apartments? Better in what way?

- 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.

- Double stairways: every apartment must be connected to at least two sets of stairways, this rule comes from a time when fire prevention was lacking, but nowadays it only gets in the way of designing units with more rooms/windows because geometry.
- Maximum floor space: what it says on the tin. There is a maximum set of space each floor can use and this incentives making narrow hallways and make away with communal spaces in favor of packing as many small units as you can.
- Building setback: every building needs to be a set amount of space away from the sidewalk, which means a lot of space in every lot is wasted as it legally can't be used for anything. Without this rule you could design adjacent lots to share a big courtyard that can be used as a community space.
