Executive Summary
The 'Abundance' movement has successfully influenced political discourse ('vibes') and some legislation, particularly in housing, with prominent Democrats adopting its supply-side framing.
Despite legislative efforts, the movement has failed to produce significant tangible outcomes, especially evident in California's stagnant housing construction numbers.
A significant ideological rift is emerging within progressivism, pitting the supply-side 'abundance' agenda against populist and anti-monopoly concerns that it serves corporate and wealthy interests, particularly from the tech sector.
Artificial Intelligence presents a major challenge, as it's framed by tech leaders as a source of 'radical abundance' but is viewed by many progressives as a driver of inequality, job scarcity, and concentrated power, undermining a pro-technology political coalition.
