This spring, we reluctantly decided to oppose Senate legislation intended to make housing more affordable, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act. While the legislation included some small reforms that could have reduced the cost of housing, it also added new regulations that would have made housing more expensive, not less. But, pleasingly, the House has released its own bipartisan version of the legislation this week, and it fixes the problems the Senate bill created.

This is legislation we can support. The Senate, and the White House, would be wise to adopt it.
