Steve, I had to read it three times but I have to say it’s really really really that’s it that I own yet? — brilliant. In concept, in execution and words that I dare not use here right now for the reasons. See you around the campus. Looking forward to it. Wanna have coffee on these days?
Affordability wasn't obsolete in the NYC mayor campaign. But I'll grant your premise that it is in the mouths of national Democrats nakedly trying to bottle Mamdani's magic. What do you think is the difference?
Sticking with a sports analogy I'd say: "styles make fights." The NYC win was a perfect collision of a generational candidate, a very poor field (Cuomo?!), and a city where the cost of living is reaching a breaking point. But "Affordability" is a moving target.
My concern is that while national types try to bottle that magic, the territory is shifting under their feet. AI is changing the nature of work, rightnow. And with the speed of economic cycles accelerating a platform built on the "Old Map" of affordability risks becoming a lagging indicator.
It also is a message that requires authenticity to deliver - a commodity in short supply among dem leadership right now.
