talmudic leftism in jerusalem
Just read an article which quotes three talmudic dictums about Jerusalem.
No trash was allowed within the city confines and had to be taken out of the city proper.
It was illegal to operate a kiln to craft ceramic vessels since the smell and vapor would ruin the beautiful air in Jerusalem.
It was illegal to rent apartments in Jerusalem during the the three major holidays as all apartments became hefker for whomever visited for that time period.
Does anybody have the sources for this in the Talmud?

The law about the kiln, is definitely in chagigah. I think it’s somewhere near the end of perek sheni or the beginning of perek shlishi.
