“The progressive fear that the Abundance movement wants to take over the Democratic Party isn’t baseless at all — its adherents have plenty of influence in it now. The yes-in-my-backyard mindset is popular with younger elected Democrats in cities, who have been living with higher costs than their parents. … Every Democrat is going to run on affordability, and the abundance movement wants quick action when those Democrats win. To persuade them, they recruit like-minded electeds, mostly in cities, and advertise their successes when they break local resistance to housing reform or more energy infrastructure.” (09/08/25)
