The article argues that the debate over the 'abundance agenda' within the Democratic Party overlooks a crucial point: the notion of abundance is rooted in conservative achievements rather than progressive ideals. It critiques the attempts by progressives to claim ownership over the term, emphasizing the successful policies implemented by conservative figures like Spencer Cox in Utah, which have directly addressed issues like housing density. The author contends that focusing on who actually creates abundance, rather than on ideologies, is pivotal for the future of political discourse around capacity expansion.
Without conservative deregulation, permitting reform, and market mechanisms that actually create supply, progressive software is just pretty wireframes with no server.
Progressive abundance is a retrofit, conservative machinery dressed up in progressive aesthetics. It's a glossy interface running on an operating system built by the right.
