but on price controls and a lack of affordable housing stock that in turn encourages high rental prices due to the low supply. The article admits the limitations that the Executive Branch has with anything to do with pricing (other than subsidies as denoted per law) and acknowledges that it is a Congressional problem. It even notes way at the bottom, that BBB had solutions in it for Housing but those were stripped from what was eventually passed.

And given the GOP loons in Congress, activists and progressive members of Congress are pushing the administration to do a hail Mary set of options to see what makes it to the end zone without a deflection.
