Congress passed a huge housing bill because rent is too damn high
In a shocking twist of events, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle temporarily stopped screaming at each other to pass the biggest housing affordability package in a generation.
So, Congress actually passed a major bipartisan bill to tackle the housing crisis. Yes, that is real. The plan is surprisingly simple: build a massive wave of new homes to finally force prices down. It turns out even politicians realized that when a starter home costs as much as a private island, something has to give.
Instead of the usual endless bickering, lawmakers decided to aggressively boost the actual supply of houses so normal human beings can buy a place without sacrificing their firstborn. The bill is already headed straight to the desk of Joe Biden for a signature.
Imagine a housing market so completely broken that Democrats and Republicans look at each other, sigh, and actually vote yes on the same piece of paper.
Local zoning boards are probably already drafting fifty new ways to block these construction projects anyway.
