housing prices going up in LA as climate change progresses?

Post Body

Why hasnā€™t the housing market in LA started to drop in price? California is seeing significant impacts of climate change year-round and LA is definitely part of it. With the flooding all over the city, the inevitable ā€œbig oneā€ earthquake ,the fires near Malibu, heat waves shutting down the grid during summers, landslides sending homes into the ocean and mudslides taking out entire streets. We all see it coming, it already is and it will only get worse. The city barely has the resources to address the flooding from recent storms. The unhoused population keeps rising dramatically and I can only imagine what happens when civil response is not available when these major disasters hit/worsen in years to come.

Are people really expecting to live here with ease in the next 10-20 years? I just cannot fathom how housing prices are still going up when LA seems extremely high risk in terms of climate and natural disaster devastation. Are these things just not being taken into account right now? I donā€™t know much about the housing market, admittedly but I really wonder about this.

Of course climate change is impacting everywhere on earth but the specific challenges that LA faces are really across the list in ways that other places do not have to contend with. Iā€™m not asking where the entire populace should move to but why the housing market continues to go up as if we arenā€™t aware of the imminent risks we are about to face

I could have sworn I heard Miami beachfront prices were starting to drop because itā€™ll be flooded in a decade šŸ˜©šŸ˜© canā€™t believe how bad it is there too
