    "We have a deal": Biden reaches $1.2 trillion infrastructure compromise with bipartisan group of senators.
    USA Today (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 78% • 8 min read

    The plan includes $579 billion in new spending over eight years, focusing only on physical infrastructure such as roads, bridges, rail, broadband internet, water and sewer pipes, and electric vehicles. It proposes several ways to pay for the spending – including beefing up IRS tax enforcement – that avoid a gas tax increase that Biden resisted and a corporate tax hike that Republicans opposed.
    ...
    Although not a guarantee to pass Congress, the compromise has strong odds. With the backing of 11 Republican senators and 10 moderate Democrats, the infrastructure bill would surpass the 60 votes required to overcome a filibuster if all Senate Democrats vote for it.
    ...
    Some progressives have feared Biden's willingness to compromise could jeopardize more sweeping climate-change and social safety-net initiatives. But Biden said he won't sign the bipartisan infrastructure bill into law unless a reconciliation bill [which can be passed with a simple majority] with "human infrastructure" is also on his desk.

Yes - I rented a 480 sq ft apartment in San Francisco for $2200 a month for seven years before accepting that I was never going to be able to purchase a house in SF. I've since moved and purchased a place. The ownership of land is one of the few things that private citizens can do to build generational wealth.
