CMV: Winning the 2028 Democratic primary will come down to who will deliver the most on affordability, even modestly, co
There seems to be 3 factions within the Democratic Party right now trying to prove they are the best in "building stuff" in the runup to 2028 primaries. Yes, Republicans like Gov.Spencer Cox of Utah and even controversially Gov.Greg Abbott of Texas are also making YIMBY reforms in their state; but the GOP image itself will have been so tarnished by 2028 that I don't think majority of Americans will consider voting for them no matter how well they govern at the state level.
And so, that leaves us with three wings of the Democratic party, each with their own version of Abundance, the next possible economic-political order in America. They each seem to be making their own "big gamble".

1.) The Liberals-
Out in the West Coast and Sunbelt cities, we got the controversial liberal CA governor Newsom, the very lowkey liberal mayor Kirk Watson of Austin, & liberal CO governor Jared Polis. Newsom's big gamble seems to be this "prefab push" that he is going to do this new year of 2026 after many years of various reforms on permitting, zoning, and litigation techniques. Seems promising as there seems to be more prefab startup firms strongly considering
If you zoom out, the timing matters more than people admit That part stands out. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

Just reading this, the signal is clear, the strategy less so which makes the reaction pretty predictable That’s the key detail here.

Honestly, this solves one problem while creating another and that’s where the disagreement starts That part stands out. Not convinced this is settled yet.
the logic is there, but the execution is uneven which is why the comments look the way they do
To be fair, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified That part stands out. This could age very differently in a week.

Bluntly speaking, the follow-through is what will decide this and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone This probably isn’t the last word on it.
