· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The U.S. Senate approved a bipartisan housing bill on Monday aimed at reducing federal regulations and increasing local control, marking a significant effort to lower housing prices. The bill passed with a vote of 85-5 and now moves to the House of Representatives. It prohibits corporate investors from buying single-family homes but does not require them to sell newly built homes within seven years. The legislation aims to enhance housing supply, streamline environmental reviews, and provide funding for local governments. Both parties support the bill as a response to the ongoing housing affordability crisis, with the House expected to vote soon.
