The article reports that the Senate passed the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act in an 85-5 vote. It says the bill would remove some regulatory barriers, streamline environmental reviews, and prevent institutional investors from buying single-family homes. Elizabeth Warren and Tim Scott worked on the bill for more than a year, and both described it as an important step toward lowering housing costs and increasing supply.
The article says the measure has bipartisan support in the House and is expected to pass there. Housing experts cited by the article cautioned that it may not meaningfully affect prices, pointing to the small share of homes for sale owned by investors and a broader shortage of housing supply.
