[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is that what Abundance means? I haven't read the book and the Politico article didn't expand clearly on it. I looked at the wiki page for the book and it is about infrastructure and building new projects rather than merely obstructivism. We all know that regulations to protect X, Y, Z are well-intentioned but cause massive delays and cost-increases. Look at regular projects that are years behind schedule and millions/billions over budget compared to the 95 repair of the bridge collapse in Philadelphia that was quick, due to ignoring some regulations using emergency powers. We are at a point where our infrastructure is aging and much is due for renovation. We could replace, instead. We could imagine a new vision of cities and we could enact it. If we have the will.[/quote] I agree. Too often, democrats let the perfect be the enemy of the good and we don’t get anywhere. So much money/projects is just held up for years and years.[/quote]
