Appreciate @HousingWire featuring the work of my @BPC_Bipartisan colleagues Emma Waters and Rebecca Orbach on what's next for housing legislation—breaking down the key differences between the House and Senate bills and what they mean for the road ahead. housingwire.com/articles/under…

What is cost basis? The price you paid for a security is your cost basis. When you sell, you owe capital gains tax on the difference between what you paid and what you received. Stock bought for $50,000, sold for $400,000 = $350,000 in taxable gain. At 23.8% (LTCG + NIIT for high earners) = ~$83,300.

How much have home prices risen since 2020? 50%. That's pushed the salary needed to afford a median-priced home up more than 78%. Supply is a big part of the answer—and it's what we'll be focused on at BPC's Terwilliger Center Summit on June 23. Register: bipartisanpolicy.org/event/2026-ter…

One of the most cited barriers to building: environmental review delays. The House and Senate both included NEPA streamlining in their housing bills—expanding categorical exclusions and cutting delays for federally supported projects.

More landlords in the Housing Choice Voucher program means more options for voucher holders. Steps to make that happen appear in both the House and Senate housing bills. House bill: bipartisanpolicy.org/explainer/what… Senate bill: bipartisanpolicy.org/explainer/what…

Raising the cap on bank public welfare investments from 15% to 20% appears in both the House and Senate housing bills. House bill: bipartisanpolicy.org/explainer/what… Senate bill: bipartisanpolicy.org/explainer/what…
