Me: "Hey, Ezra! I bet you've already heard lots of 'better than Ezra' jokes so I won't poke fun at you in that way. But I really want to know how 'abundance liberalism' deals with crises like the dire shortage of affordable housing."

Ezra Klein: "I will ignore the 'better than Ezra' joke. And I'll jump right in and answer your question about housing. But first I have a lot - a lot(!) - to explain!" And he speaks for about five minutes. Impressively he entirely ignores all issues related to housing other than to very vaguely say "A focused-goal target of abundance liberalism is the structural implementation of foundations to improve access to affordable housing."
