I want to believe…but I can’t. I’m glad someone put the bill out there. But there is no way this gets bipartisan support or gets pushed through in any way. It will die in the halls of our inept, depraved, corrupt government.
The chance of any bill passing is about 30% regardless of what level of public support it has.
The same is not true when you compare the chances to the support the rich have for a bill. When the rich support a bill its far more likely to pass. When the rich oppose a bill, it is far more likely to fail.
So it will be no surprise when this bill unfortunately fails.
Expect better, agitate for it. Get excited for a livable future. Write letters and make phone calls. Go to a protest. Resolving to do even one of these in a year puts among the rarefied few who actually put in the extra 10% effort to move progress incrementally forward.
I did, for many years. But I live in a grossly red state so all the replies I got were basically “lol no”. It made zero difference. So I just vote in my local elections and hope something changes for the better.

That, or the bill will have some obvious loophole. Like maybe a hedge fund can’t own a house, but they can buy another entity which can own a house.
