Following yesterday's 396-13 House vote, my @BPC_Bipartisan colleagues have a new issue brief breaking down what's in the House amendment to the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act—including a table comparing all recent federal housing packages side by side. https://t.co/6tdRO9Wptc
Bipartisanship is alive and well on Capitol Hill — thank you to @RepMarkAlford and @RepJoshHarder for their support of the housing bill and the millions of Americans who are renters.
This morning, I joined @RepJoshHarder and @NRHCouncil CEO & former Acting Housing and Urban Development Secretary @DepSecTodman for a bipartisan discussion on expanding housing supply + lowering costs.
Next stop: voting YES on the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.
Nope! HUD asked House Republicans to remove legislation from Rep. Waters (D-Calif) that would create an eviction assistance hotline, plus a complaint center for the renters of properties owned by large investors. House GOP stripped the language to avoid Trump admin opposition.
What a truly awful proposal — taking a popular multi-use park (that already includes a golf course!) and turning it into something very few people will ever visit and enjoy.
Excited to unveil the design for the East Potomac Golf Links renovation from Fazio Design.
Like iconic public courses of Bethpage Black & Torrey Pines, East Potomac will offer locals—of the National Capital Region—championship-quality golf at affordable, highly discounted rates.
If this stuck to the issue of how WMATA employs too many people for the benefits it delivers compared to other transit systems, it would have been a sensible piece but by tying the entire argument to "people who don't use the metro pay taxes that in part go to running the metro," this opinion piece is unrecoverably stupid. This is not just the tweet. It's how the entire piece is framed. All of our taxes support things that not all of us use. That's part of the social contract
