This may only tangentially related to the central thesis here but IMO one major issue involves what presents to me as a constitutional aversion to hard tradeoffs and choices. It is fine and good to get excited about high upside ideas, particularly when courting a constituency. The key is whether she will be willing to *give up* anything tangible to prioritize it.
That widespread dynamic bubbled all the way up to the Biden admin where prioritization felt like a lost art. If Dems want to beat the spineless allegations, well, clearly reckoning with priorities could be a signal of strength. There’s been receptiveness for a while to the idea there are no tradeoffs or none if you do one easy trick, but I’d think primary voters will eventually start to sour on that when cost of living does not in fact go down.
Has anyone actually done the math on the available supply of journeyman labor hours of DC residents within the project's timeline? I have seen this in the past and many times the labor supply is not there. Focusing on apprentices makes more sense, maybe this work wexperience would give them the resume to continue their career.

There doesn’t appear to be affirmative evidence on the labor supply front as of yet but the apprenticeship bit of it seems like a good idea.
