This bill is becoming law whether he supports it or not. It's also quite popular (with everyone who is not in Private Equity).

I don't buy any Private Equity whining about this, all they need to do is spin up a few corporate shells and they'll be able to keep each one of them under the limit on single family home ownership, but they'll still be cashing subsidies for construction and enjoying the gutting of environmental regulations that came with this

The real housing reform we need is more public housing on the market owned and administered by municipal or state governments, anything short of that is just going to be putting money back into the pockets of the land barons

    You don't think private equity will be complaining, lobbying on this? Wow, your understanding is fucked.

    No, I think their complaining and lobbying is a bullshit pretense to keep everyone talking about this legislation that doesn't solve the problem (and creates a few new ones) instead of talking about policies that would actually do something

    While this legislation is bullshit, and clear permit processes and such for these same assholes to bring their bullshit, they will still be opposing it out of principle, you can be sure. These are the most arrogant assholes on the earth.
