Opinion | We Have to Stop Underwriting People Who Move to Climate Danger Zones
Our policies encourage Americans to flock to areas particularly prone to climate-related disasters.
The Cali fires were in part so destructive because five years ago wealthy developers lobbies to re-rate zones as safer so they could build there without taking the necessary steps to prevent fires.
Which then burnt the houses at the old barrier line, and burnt thru neighborhoods that had never had to worry about fires.
So it's not enough to say "stay away from danger zones" we need to stop the wealthy from manipulating the zones.
Because they've shown us time and time again they don't give a fuck what happens to anyone else. If they did they wouldn't be able to buy a house for $100,000,000.
No one can get that much money ethically.
