The United States Senate has overwhelmingly passed a significant bipartisan housing bill that cleverly combines housing incentives with a temporary prohibition on the Federal Reserve System (Fed) issuing a digital currency. The '21st Century ROAD to Housing Act' aims to reduce housing costs, encourage new housing projects, and renovate abandoned buildings. Notably, this is the first major housing legislation in nearly three decades. The bill passed with a vote of 89 in favor and 10 against, but its prospects in the House of Representatives remain uncertain, with some representatives expressing dissatisfaction over not being included in key negotiations.
