Senate Passes Major Bipartisan Housing Bill 89-10

Narrative B

This bill finally does something about Wall Street buying up thousands of single-family homes and driving up prices. The lopsided Senate vote proves this isn't partisan noise — it's a broadly supported fix that adds housing funding, reforms land use and limits private equity's grip on neighborhoods. Investors still get seven years of rent collection before any sale, making opposition from that industry purely self-interested.
