A sweeping bipartisan housing affordability bill — the first major legislation of its kind in decades — became law on Saturday without Trump's signature after he refused to sign it unless Congress passed his election-focused voter ID overhaul first. Trump dismissed the housing bill as a "yawn" and did not veto it, allowing it to become law automatically under constitutional procedures. The bill addresses rising home prices and institutional investor consolidation of the housing market, which Congress identified as a growing affordability crisis.
