Up until a few weeks ago, I had never heard of the Tartan Army (despite being one-quarter Scottish and having an actual family tartan of my own!). But now that the World Cup has begun and the Scotland fans known as the Tartan Army have descended on my home state of Massachusetts, they're inescapable. And…

Bipartisan housing bill moves closer to passage after House and Senate negotiators reached agreement on the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act.
Measure would largely bar large institutional investors from buying existing single-family homes, a provision supporters say would give families a better chance to purchase homes.
Legislation also includes incentives to boost housing supply, including support for manufactured housing, streamlined regulations and grants for new development.
After the housing market crash of 2008, when millions of single-family homes went into foreclosure, hedge funds and other Wall Street entities began buying them. Some critics maintain that made it harder for consumers to buy these homes to live in.
Now, Congress appears ready to address that issue.
A bipartisan housing affordability bill that would largely prevent large institutional investors from buying existing single-family homes is on track for congressional approval after House and Senate leaders reached a compromise on the legislation. The measure has bipartisan support.
The measure, known as the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, is one of the most significant federal housing proposals in decades and is aimed at addressing a housing affordability crisis that has put homeownership out of reach for many Americans. The legislation combines efforts to increase housing supply with restrictions on large investment firms that purchase homes for rental portfolios.
Trump supports the bill
Under the agreement, large institutional investors would be prohibited from purchasing existing single-family homes, a policy backed by a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers and supported by President Donald Trump. Supporters argue that the rise of Wall Street-backed homebuyers has made it harder for families to compete in the housing market, particularly in fast-growing metropolitan areas.
"The deep-seated belief behind this legislation is that homes should be for families, not simply investment vehicles," Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), one of the bill's chief sponsors, said during Senate consideration of the measure.
The Senate approved its version of the bill in March by a vote of 89-10, reflecting broad bipartisan support. The legislation was sponsored by Warren and Sen. Tim Scott (R-S.C.), who have framed housing affordability as a national challenge that transcends party lines.
