Congress has sat back as rents skyrocketed, and home ownership got further and further out of reach. This bill is a necessary first step to addressing this crisis by making it easier to build more homes, simplifying how we repair older homes, and creating consequences for the greedy corporations gobbling up single-family homes in our neighborhoods just to jack up rent on families." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
