Scott Criticizes Housing Bill
On Wednesday, Scott criticized the Democrats’ housing bill in a post on X, saying it overlooks what he considers the fundamental causes of the nation’s housing affordability challenges.
"Here’s what nobody’s talking about with the Democrats’ housing bill: it does NOTHING to deal with the actual roots of the problem," Scott wrote.
He argued that the proposal "doesn’t address all the regulatory costs that stack up at the local level."
