What is the "abundance agenda" and how does it relate to supply-side liberalism?

Housing:

Zoning laws that make it hard to build housing (strangling supply)

The Abundant answer to this crisis is to create “abundant” housing, of all types, where it is most needed, thereby alleviating the Housing Crisis, which to Abundant Liberals is a crisis of artificial scarcity due to government policy.

****Abundance Liberals are not Libertarians, they are willing to make use of government support in the economy

Abundant Liberals want to create mass abundance in all spheres. Energy, education, housing, food, transit, etc etc etc. They tend to be deeply urbanist and aim to have “tall cities” if you’re familiar with the term in strategy games. Lots of apartments, lots of transit and walkability, and so on.

I consider myself a Liberal of this school.

Why do creationists ask for proof of evolution and then ignore the answers?

This pretty much shows abundant goals

Abundant Liberal meme on this topic

In a nutshell the idea is that for too long, American governments (state/local/federal) have enacted regulations that have, inadvertently or not, driven up the prices of key goods and services by strangling supply and subsidizing demand. Abundance Liberals are against this combination. Namely, they want to stop strangling supply and allow for the markets — aided by the state where effective**** — to build mass amounts (abundance) of the goods and services we want and need, driving down prices.

Dear atheist, do you realise that there is a God watching over you who will one day judge and condemn you for every wrong thing you have said and done before casting you into the lake of fire?

***I use the term “Card-carrying Liberal” to denote self-described Liberals who are active in expressly Liberal spaces, fighting for expressly Liberal goals, rather than as a catch-all term for “Democrat”

It’s a still nascent system created and advocated for by “Card-carrying Liberals”*** in America.

Abundance Agenda and “Supply-Side Liberalism/Progressivism” are the same thing, but the former sounds way cooler.

What is the purpose of using fitness supplements like protein and creatine? Do people still use them even if they consume a lot of protein-rich foods?

Abundant Liberals reject the idea that capitalism itself is to blame for the Housing Crisis, or most other economic crises we are seeing today, instead arguing that bad policy is the root cause.
