Too many Californians are fighting: in a recent study we conducted at the UC Berkeley capacity laboratory, 71%of voters said it is difficult to find housing within their price range, while almost half people are fighting for good local jobs (45%), low -cost healthy.

Despite the huge resources available and California is in the fourth largest economy in the world, our country has a problem with shortage. Whether we are talking about homes, well -paid jobs, care for children or an elder, it feels like many, as you just don’t have enough to go around.

Read the short: The experience of Californians who have access to basic resources

A potential solution that generates significant buzzing is the abundance program, with the main conviction that if we can simply increase the overall supply of everything – housing, clean energy, education – then all will be automatically better. And not just building more, but also building faster by removing bureaucratic barriers and bureaucracy that slow down projects. This is the Rising Tide approach all boats.

Abundance cannot only apply to the production of more; It is probably better production, together.

Although this focus on speed and efficiency sounds attractive, our studies suggest that the application reveals a crucial blind. The real challenge is not to build more – this guarantees that the increased supply of basic goods and services actually improves life for the maximum number of Californians. In order to achieve these goals, we need a new model of creating a human -oriented policy.

Through this research series, we will explore the critical but missing component in this view of abundance: the people who will make it possible.

• Work with communities design solutions that work for them, in places where they live
• Work with workincluding optimizing opportunities and creating incentives for basic work training
• And works with the people in government Who will help to provide goods and services that are beneficial to all of us.

While the Californians urgently need a future with access to the basic things for a quality life, we cannot ignore the questions who builds this future and who benefits from it. Sustainable abundance requires not only the elimination of barriers to build, but actively creating roads to participate in communities and take advantage of this growth.

We believe building fast can be combined with Buildings fairAnd our research explores how to do this possible.

In this research series, We will describe data that explore the compromises inherent in balancing the “rapid construction” with a “building fair” through the economy of care, labor and labor force and infrastructure. We will offer new studies on how communities can contribute, while maintaining the processes to move forward and to deviate from their influence from special interests to the social good. We will look at the types of partnerships, policies and perspectives that can achieve these goals. Finally, we will offer a starting point for political reforms based on evidence and community reforms that allow us to “build more” in ways that allow all Californians to share in the abundant resources of the state.

The bets are high. Housing costs continue to ahead of salaries throughout the country, and each of the five Californians cannot afford to put food on its table.

Without deliberate action, new policies can simply reproduce existing inequalities on a larger scale. But well, California’s desire for reforms can become a model of how we can meet the basic needs of people while expanding the opportunities for everyone.

The path forward requires recognition that true abundance is not just for quantity; It is about creating systems that work for all Californians: in rural and urban communities in economic sectors in private and public organizations. Only then will the rising tide really lift all the boats.
