I keep seeing this tossed around and I must have missed something. “Abundance Democrats” what is that? What do they mean by “Abundance”? What bullshit are they rebranding?

    i think its partially related to the yimby idea that allowing new housing to be built by deregulating the industry around building housing means that developers will build new housing in abundance and cause housing to become affordable to the average person.

    as a side note the yimby movement is fucking tiring because strong towns succeeded at turning the entire discussion around housing into market economics instead of “everyone needs housing” and assuming developers will build baby build isn’t really working
