Elizabeth Warren: “This bill, for the first time ever, says to private equity…”

Featuring: Elizabeth Warren, Democratic | U.S. Senate, Massachusetts

Watch on YouTube

Congress passed a bill keeping private equity out of housing. Why hasn't Trump signed it?

Published | Video Starts at 06:34

The reason is because this is a bill that is helpful in rural areas and urban areas, all aiming toward bringing down the cost of building new units of housing. Because that's our answer, you gotta build more housing. And because This bill, for the first time ever, says to private equity, you do not get to come into our neighborhoods, buy up all the housing, turn us into a nation of renters. First bill ever to say no to private equity. Love this moment. And damn if we didn't get Democrats and Republicans to sign off on it. (06:34–06:49)
