Nueva ley de vivienda promete mejorar la asequibilidad en El Paso y EE.UU.

La Ley de Vivienda del Siglo XXI fue firmada como ley el sábado, tras un largo proceso bipartidista, a pesar de la oposición del expresidente Donald Trump. Este nuevo marco legislativo busca abordar la crisis de asequibilidad de la vivienda en EE.UU., que ha sido exacerbada por altos precios y escasez de oferta. Con 47 propuestas, la ley fomenta la construcción de viviendas prefabricadas y la conversión de oficinas en apartamentos, aunque los expertos advierten que los cambios no serán inmediatos. La implementación dependerá de la colaboración entre los gobiernos federal, estatal y local, así como de la voluntad de las comunidades para aceptar nuevos desarrollos.
