Yeah, well, there are a lot of reasons the cost of homeownership has gone up.
Like, you know, mortgage rates have risen over the past several years.
Wages have recently fallen behind inflation.

And then there's the classic supply and demand problem.
The U.S.
is short millions of homes by some counts about four or five million units short of the demand.
And, you know, that sends prices up.
Well, probably the part of the bill that's gotten the most attention is that it will ban corporate investors from buying up tons of single-family homes.
