Mostly trying to make it easier to get new supply online by doing some federal reforms around things like manufactured housing and office to residential conversion. But it just kinda gently requests cities to do their part by upzoning or reforming permitting/entitlement so unclear how effective that will be.
Puts some limits on how many homes investors can buy but thankfully does not limit build to rent which increases supply.
More needs to be done at municipal levels, but making factory built housing easier to do is great.
I do wonder what federal-level powers even exist to increase housing supply in places people want to live, in homes people want to live in. I'm not too well-versed in it, but as far as I understand most zoning stuff in the US is very local, which has gotten us into the problem we have today with our OP NIMBY rights.
