Abundant
Santa Monica
Once the embodiment of the California Dream, Santa Monica offered sunshine, beaches, vibrant culture, and a hub for innovation. But after decades of anti-growth politics, the city now faces empty storefronts, unaffordable housing, declining schools, and a homelessness crisis. Stalled by political gridlock, even basic progress—like building housing or supporting local business—feels out of reach.
What we’re working on:
Abundant Santa Monica exists to bring about a new golden era for our City and model a way forward for our nation. One that thrives on more housing, more businesses, smarter transportation, and better living.
To do this, we must reduce barriers to starting businesses and building the infrastructure we need, lower the cost of living, and improve our government’s capacity to do more with less.
We are not a narrow special interest group seeking to score a windfall for one incumbent interest to the detriment of another. Rather, we are interested in growing the pie to provide better outcomes for all residents.
What’s next:
Our first goal is to transform the Santa Monica City Council by supporting abundance-oriented ideas and candidates who will begin the process of turning our city around. Concurrently, we are working with policy experts to build a tightly-defined roadmap for realizing our shared goals for the city.
