TRUMP’S HOUSING INVESTOR BAN FACES CONGRESSIONAL PUSHBACK President Trump’s proposal to ban Wall Street investors from buying single-family homes is hitting resistance in Congress. Lawmakers in both chambers, particularly Republicans, worry the ban could derail bipartisan housing bills and clash with free-market principles. The White House wants the policy included in ongoing housing legislation, but key GOP leaders say details on who qualifies as a “large investor” and what counts as a single-family home are unclear. Some lawmakers, including Democrats like Elizabeth Warren, support the ban, while others push ahead with broader housing supply measures instead. The investor ban remains popular with the public, especially younger voters frustrated with high home prices, but Congress is reluctant to act.(*Walter Bloomberg)
