I do think it is a winning strategy to focus on abundance which includes abundance of homes. I do think that talking about deregulating things for housing can be worthwhile. I know that Minneapolis removed regulations around single family home requirements that has been a success in building new housing.

I think there is something to be said here about showing the value of well run government. This is how to counter the narrative of how the government is nothing but evil. This includes removing regulations that are not needed but keeping those that save lives. Removing single family homes and parking lot requirements can do lots about making cities better. If Democrats want to be the party of urban American make cities livable.
