Warren criticizes Trump over stalled housing bill

Sen. Elizabeth Warren criticized President Donald Trump for delaying approval of a bipartisan housing package, urging him to sign it without further delay. She made the comments in a local television interview, saying the president was treating the bill like a political fight instead of a policy measure. The legislation, known as the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, is designed to address housing affordability by making it easier and less costly to build new homes. Supporters say it includes nearly 50 provisions aimed at increasing supply and limiting corporate buying in the housing market. Trump has said he will not move forward with the package until lawmakers approve the separate SAVE America Act. Critics of the housing bill argue it does not go far enough on funding, homeownership costs, or permitting reform, and the White House had not commented at the time of publication.
