This is the critical thing to recognize about the so-called "abundance" agenda and the entire branch of YIMBYism it represents:
Its intellectual foundations are fundamentally antidemocratic. It seeks to use the state to impose cultural consensus - and whose culture? Corporate Silicon Valley's.

An era of effortless industrial supremacy, as I usually put it. And, not coincidentally, the time of strongest US state commitment to free trade.
I think people reeeeealllly overestimate the role of trade and industrial policy in US dominance of heavy industry in the 1950s and really underestimate the importance of having dropped high explosives on every facility in Japan or Germany capable of manufacturing a ball bearing
