"The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is transformational legislation that will immediately address the housing affordability problem and bring the American Dream back within reach for millions of young and working American families. This bill delivers on our promise to reduce restrictive regulations, increase the housing supply, limit institutional investing in the housing market, and drive down the price of homes nationwide.

Chairman Hill, Ranking Member Waters, and the entire House Financial Services Committee did exceptional work to achieve a bipartisan product that delivers the housing policy President Trump has called for and that voters demand. We are grateful that a strong, bipartisan majority of the House voted to pass this legislation today, and we urge the Senate to swiftly do the same."

Someone here mentioned that this bill is kinda soft and that it'll be easy for corporations to navigate the rules.

The solution is to rid the country of 30 million + illegal aliens.

And how will it do this

Correct me if I'm wrong, but almost all of the regulations that slow up construction and drive up prices are at the state and local level.

How will it increase housing supply, going to force people into hard labor to build houses

Yes, can limit amount of properties a company can own, but I'd imagine that is the lesser of the 3 cures listed in the grand scheme of things.

Reduce regulations or no federal funding? Outside the box I guess

Yeah the illegal aliens and hb1 visas are the problem


Kind of like ground beef. You increase the demand by letting in all the illegals and the supply cannot change that fast.

Time for stacking up puts on derivatives. It’s great for the citizens to drive down the value of houses, especially if mortgages are on them. Having upside down mortgages on middle income families would crush the economy

I find it absolutely horrible that a person has to wait on its government to act in order to afford a house.

What have people done to themselves?

illegal's can't get a mortgage. 21 years as a mortgage banker. So your telling me these illegals are buying houses in cash?

I see this posted all the time and that is not the problem with the housing market.
