Biden announces end to 20-year war in Afghanistan, withdrawing troops
Replay Video President Joe Biden gave historic remarks Wednesday announcing his plan to fully withdraw American troops from Afghanistanby the 20th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks this year. We cannot continue the cycle of extending or expanding our military presence in Afghanistan hoping to create ideal conditions for withdrawal and expecting a different result, Biden said. He spoke from the Treaty Room of the White House, the same space where former President George W. Bush informed the American people that the U.S. had begun strikes against al-Qaida in 2001, beginning the nearly 20-year conflict.

President Joe Biden wants cities to put more apartment buildings and multifamily units, such as converted garages, in areas traditionally zoned for single-family housing. As part of his $2.3 trillion infrastructure plan, cities would allow for smaller lots and for apartment buildings with fewer than six units to be built next to a traditional house.
Current zoning laws that favor single-family homes – known as exclusionary zoning – have disproportionately hurt low-income Americans. Many of them can t afford to buy a big lot of land, leaving them trapped in crowded neighborhoods earmarked in the past for Black and brown residents, while white families were able to move to single-family areas in the suburbs.
