The Senate advanced a 27‑bill package (the ROAD to Housing Act) co‑authored by Elizabeth Warren and Tim Scott that centers on boosting supply via federal incentives, technical assistance, financing fixes, and regulatory streamlining. It cleared the Banking Committee 24–0 and then passed the Senate, an unusually broad coalition for a substantive housing bill.
— A bipartisan, supply‑first federal housing bill suggests a national pivot toward YIMBY policy and a new template—carrots and de‑friction—by which Washington can influence local housing markets.

Both pieces address federal levers to increase housing supply: the article critiques demand‑side subsidies and instead proposes supply‑unlocking measures (mortgage portability/compensation, capital‑gains relief), which dovetail with the bipartisan, supply‑focused YIMBY legislative approach described in the existing idea.

The Mamdani rent‑freeze episode sits directly in the national housing policy debate the Warren–Scott item represents: it shows how city‑level choices (freeze vs supply incentives) interact with broader bipartisan efforts to address housing through supply‑focused legislation and politics.

John McGinnis and Josh Barro pieces in the roundup engage the same problem set the Warren–Scott package addresses: supply‑focused federal interventions and the political difficulty of achieving them; the link list surfaces the public‑choice obstacles that make even bipartisan supply bills hard to implement locally.

Both pieces treat housing as a place where federal legislation and bipartisan bargains can meaningfully move supply and affordability; the Slow Boring article documents federal momentum, program reorientation (New Markets Tax Credit), and the political context that makes a YIMBY‑style federal push plausible this year.

Both are federal efforts to change housing outcomes by coordinating policy and incentives: the 2002 'Blueprint' set a national minority‑homeownership target and assembled industry commitments, while the Warren–Scott package represents a modern bipartisan federal supply‑and‑incentives strategy; the HUD page is a historical analogue showing how targets + partnerships were used to mobilize private actors.

The article stresses supply‑side limits (how prior housing expansion marginally eased prices) and argues that making cities 'affordable' requires building—linking Mamdani’s rhetoric to the existing national supply‑first conversation exemplified by the Warren–Scott bipartisan housing package.

McGinnis foregrounds housing supply and deregulation as central remedies for affordability; that aligns directly with the bipartisan, supply‑first YIMBY package (Warren–Scott) described in the corpus, which treats federal incentives and regulatory streamlining as the practical policy response to rising housing costs.

The article’s problem statement (that government 'back‑of‑house' prevents building) connects to the policy response embodied in bipartisan supply‑first bills like the ROAD to Housing Act — both address permitting and regulatory barriers; actors linked are federal lawmakers and reform coalitions trying to translate voter discontent into supply reforms.

Both items are about supply‑focused housing responses to affordability pressure: the article describes cities using zoning and local experiments to boost housing while the Warren–Scott entry records a federal, bipartisan supply‑first push; together they show a multi‑level policy pivot toward supply remedies.

The essay’s warning that local rent‑control expansions undercut supply‑side affordability strategies connects to the bipartisan federal supply‑focused reforms (Warren–Scott package) — the LA vote illustrates the political obstacles such federal incentives face when local jurisdictions instead double down on rent caps rather than enabling new housing production.
