“Abundance” bros flatten everything into “zoning” but the devil is in the details. 

Zohran (socialist) supports zoning changes alongside the construction of 200k affordable units.

Myrie (abundance) plans to turn over  existing public housing to private developers.

Different!

Privatizing public services and handing them over to for profit companies is never a win and is definitely not "abundance "

okay I see! yes agreed so is she saying Ezra is wrong or what

Yes. The whole basic concept of "abundance " is copy China on everything but their social programs and improving the material conditions for the workers, which is a big reason China succeeds, they also want to privatize a lot of it which is a historical failure whenever implemented

yeah we can't copy China without significant social change in parallel and the american people aren't ready for that talk. privatizing in 2025 won't be what they think

Yea, that's a massive thing these abundance guys just don't get. China is successful because China addresses the material conditions of the workers, it makes a lot of these mass building projects more obtainable.

I've watched a ton of vlogs from China over the past few months and heard many complaints about the buildings being empty and cookie cutter. they have the opposite problem we do in some ways, can't get people to move in even with dirt cheap rent on new buildings
