"Limiting Wall St from buying homes" lol, hardly. They're largely bought in LLCs, so nothing stopping them from creating 5,000 or 10,000 LLCs and buying all the homes they want. Way to go.

There's also limitations on inspections and environmental regulations. What could possibly go wrong?

There's a reason it's such an easy bi-partisan pass. Lots of congressfolks are going to need physical therapy after all this patting themselves on the back.
