‘My bill keeps escalating’: how Toledo, Ohio, became the epicenter of the US housing crisis
The Senate passed a bill Thursday aimed at boosting the supply of housing and bringing down prices,
marking a rare bipartisan breakthrough on a major issue.
The ✅ "21st Century ROAD to Housing Act",
written by Sens. Tim Scott, R-S.C.,
and Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass.,
won 89 votes.
Ten senators voted against it.
Scott is the chairman of the Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee,
and Warren is the ranking member.
