Atlantis Events CEO Rich Campbell, who is on Virgin Voyages' Scarlet Lady with nearly 2,000 passengers, called the move "really unheard of" and "strange and sad" in a message to The Washington Post.

Why in the world would Pres Trump be so against a bi-partisan bill that helps working Americans?
Maybe because its just a puff piece of legislation, much like Trump.
FTA: "The legislation can play an important role in encouraging states and localities to make changes to expand housing supply, but it doesn't require them to make those changes," Freemark said. "Congress has chosen not to preempt local and state governments and tell them what to do,"
I have said this multiple times, clearly people aren't able to read, but if you can read "Why Nothing Works"

I find it funny a Canadian posting problems with US housing supply when Canadian supply is in a crisis. See when I post about CALI problems, no other State has the issue CA does. But not ReDial, where he lives is in shambles so he has to complain about the US. Denial isn't just a river.
Here's why Canada's housing supply crisis is far worse than the US

In CA its 2X multiplier,and they are adding more regressive taxes this week.
I'm telling you repubs have the power to address it right now. And arent. Dems dont.
How? Be specific, because this is my understanding.
The U.S. Constitution, a sitting U.S. senator cannot be removed from office by a governor or by the president because of age, health concerns, or questions about their ability to serve.
A Senate seat only becomes vacant if the senator dies, voluntarily resigns, or is expelled by the Senate itself. Expulsion requires a two-thirds vote of the U.S. Senate, making it an extremely difficult process.
There is no provision in federal law, the Constitution, or Senate rules that allows a senator to be involuntarily removed solely because of physical or mental incapacity.
The reason for this is because the 17th Amendment, the one that allows the people to vote on Senators.
en.wikipedia.org
Before the 17th the Senator was there at the bequest of the State.
So now, how can anyone but McConnell address this?

The guy bought a few companies and collected government subsidies.

Starlink is providing a service to the government, and they are much cheaper than the "service" before it.
To negate the acheivments of SpaceX is silly.
That being said, my home country has delivered a blow to the US and SpaceX's belief they will get to the moon first.
Pay attention, let me know if you catch the detail which will get CCP to the moon first.
