Senate's Housing Plan: Deregulate Now, Defund HUD Later?
In a plot twist worthy of a soap opera, the Senate Banking Committee just gave a big thumbs-up to the ROAD to Housing Act of 2025, aiming to slash red tape so homes can sprout like weeds. 'Every senator, Republican or Democrat, is facing people back home who tell them housing is a huge problem,' said Sen. Elizabeth Warren, highlighting rare bipartisan harmony. But wait for itāthe bill pumps HUD with new duties while the Trump White House gleefully cuts its budget. Itās like giving your gardener a new shovel then firing them to hold the rake.

Oh, Iām sorry, did I miss the part where we boost construction *and* gut the agency charged with fixing the housing crisis? So let me get this straight: send HUD to build a mansion with Monopoly money while the janitorās handed a pink slip. Brilliant.
Republicans and Democrats agree on deregulation for housingā¦ provided it comes with less funding, like ordering a pizza but only paying for the box. Genius strategy if the goal is a crusty mess, not affordable homes.
Housing bill gives HUD a to-do list longer than a CVS receipt, but hey, the budget's getting slashed so HUD can multitask by daydreaming and shrinking simultaneously. This isn't policy; itās a Houdini magic act.
