Washington, D.C. —Following news that the bipartisan ROAD to Housing Act of 2025, introduced by Senators Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Tim Scott (R-SC), has moved unanimously out of the Senate Banking Committee, the American Economic Liberties Project released the following statement. 

“This bipartisan bill from Tim Scott and Abundance thought-leader Elizabeth Warren goes after a monopoly problem most people don’t think about: how federal policy all but outlawed cheaper housing,” said Matt Stoller, Director of Research at the American Economic Liberties Project. “Instead of supporting efficient, mass-produced homes, policymakers propped up expensive custom builds and allowed private equity to buy up the land under what little affordable housing remained. This bill starts to reverse that trend by backing manufactured housing, fixing broken lending rules, and giving communities more control over how homes get built.”

The American Economic Liberties Project works to ensure America’s system of commerce is structured to advance, rather than undermine, economic liberty, fair commerce, and a secure, inclusive democracy. Economic Liberties believes true economic liberty means entrepreneurs and businesses large and small succeed on the merits of their ideas and hard work; commerce empowers consumers, workers, farmers, and engineers instead of subjecting them to discrimination and abuse from financiers and monopolists; foreign trade arrangements support domestic security and democracy; and wealth is broadly distributed to support equitable political power.
