"abundance" is branding for this solution, coming along when it feels like center-left Dems are out of ideas, so it both catches fire and catches heat. Zohran likes it because more housing makes cities more affordable, and since it's a brand, he can choose the ideas he markets under that framework.

Personally, I think there's a lot of reflexive backlash because people hate Ezra, and also because it is inherently critical of blue states/cities, and also environmental regulations. But blue cities are way too expensive and we need to build green energy fast, and...

But in recent years conservative groups have gotten wise to the strategy and are using it to block solar panels, public transportation, and new apartment buildings. So cutting down on excessive reviews and regulations will help us solve the housing and energy crises, which are more pressing.

And you do this by slashing regulations. This causes a backlash because the modern environmental movement is built on using regulations to stop things from being built, preserving natural habitats or stopping polluting factories or carbon energy infrastructure from being built.

The idea is that the best way to solve the housing crisis is to make it easier to build more houses where people want to live. Help solve the climate crisis by making it easier to build trains, solar/wind power, and transmission lines.

Abundance gets a lot of shit because it's become a brand that anyone can cram their ideas and ideologies into, but at its heart the Ezra Klein premise is that blue cities and states have made building things very hard (objectively true) and this has resulted in things being way too expensive.

The funny thing is, what conservatives are doing re: immigration is also a form of morality, and it is backfiring enormously. But they don't frame it as morality because because on some level we all recognize that it's evil and people like Chatterton only campaign against well-intentioned people.

The WSJ actually has great reporting and real journalistic independence. John Carreyrou destroyed Theranos despite Murdoch having put $125MM into the startup.
