Build Projects, Build Community

Treat local infrastructure—roads, grids, wind farms—as the primary venue for civic life. Because projects are public goods but place‑specific, they force citizens to deliberate tradeoffs and balance collective benefits against local costs, rebuilding habits of participation and trust. — This reframes the 'abundance agenda' from technocratic throughput to community formation, suggesting governance can heal polarization by anchoring civic practice in concrete local builds.
