What is the "abundance agenda" and how does it relate to supply-side liberalism?

cheap loans and grants that are given to buy said scarce housing (subsidizing demand)

Housing Crisis (homes too expensive)

Abundance Agenda and “Supply-Side Liberalism/Progressivism” are the same thing, but the former sounds way cooler.

Trump says he's doubling steel and aluminum tariffs to 50% starting next week What effect could this have on the global economy? Canadian industry says new steel tariffs will cause 'mass disruption'.

****Abundance Liberals are not Libertarians, they are willing to make use of government support in the economy

***I use the term “Card-carrying Liberal” to denote self-described Liberals who are active in expressly Liberal spaces, fighting for expressly Liberal goals, rather than as a catch-all term for “Democrat”

I consider myself a Liberal of this school.

Illum autem fuga doloremque est quod delectus id.

Housing:

In a nutshell the idea is that for too long, American governments (state/local/federal) have enacted regulations that have, inadvertently or not, driven up the prices of key goods and services by strangling supply and subsidizing demand. Abundance Liberals are against this combination. Namely, they want to stop strangling supply and allow for the markets — aided by the state where effective**** — to build mass amounts (abundance) of the goods and services we want and need, driving down prices.

It’s a still nascent system created and advocated for by “Card-carrying Liberals”*** in America.

Trump is going to target known criminals in the country illegally for deportation. The Democrats have vowed to fight him every step of the way. Don't they understand this is one of the issues that cost them the white house, the house and senate?

Abundant Liberals reject the idea that capitalism itself is to blame for the Housing Crisis, or most other economic crises we are seeing today, instead arguing that bad policy is the root cause.

Abundant Liberals want to create mass abundance in all spheres. Energy, education, housing, food, transit, etc etc etc. They tend to be deeply urbanist and aim to have “tall cities” if you’re familiar with the term in strategy games. Lots of apartments, lots of transit and walkability, and so on.

Zoning laws that make it hard to build housing (strangling supply)

Is there a noticeable difference in performance between expensive running shoes and cheaper alternatives like Asics and Nike's "free" series? Are expensive running shoes worth the cost?

The battle where this is being put to the test now in in Housing.

The Abundant answer to this crisis is to create “abundant” housing, of all types, where it is most needed, thereby alleviating the Housing Crisis, which to Abundant Liberals is a crisis of artificial scarcity due to government policy.
