Marshall Backs 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act After 50% Home Price Jump

1 articles · Updated · Roger Marshall · Jun 23

Summary

  • Roger Marshall said the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is designed to help first-time buyers, especially families under 40, re-enter a housing market he said has become unaffordable.
  • More than 50% home-price growth under Biden, Marshall argued, has made ownership "impossible" for many young families, with federal and local regulations now the biggest cost driver for builders.
  • The bill would cut federal red tape, press local communities to streamline rules, ease lending by community banks and curb large Wall Street investors' role in housing purchases.
  • Marshall framed the measure as a supply-and-affordability push aimed at restoring first-home access rather than a broad housing-market overhaul.
