In a statement on social media, Trump said: “Today’s Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency.”

A day earlier, the House of Representatives approved the 21st Century Road to Housing Act, which is intended to lower rents and home prices by reducing federal regulations, streamlining environmental reviews, speeding up the construction process and curbing the influence of corporate landlords by limiting their ability to purchase single-family homes.

    People have so many BAD takes on this housing bill.

    Read a little, please, of it directly. Not a news breakdown. If you have questions, google them, and get info for yourself. There’s a provision for simplifying the inspection critetia so more programs can be passed at once in affordable housing, which is a current impactful bottleneck. There’s a provision about spend - that this change isn’t to pay out anyone.

    This is a huge win and it better not get veto’d.
