Great article, Brad. So many dimensions. would be wonderful to have additional

posts diving into the some of the bigger issues- real estate insurance, plans of specific cities, etc

separately, it will be interesting to see if, over the next several decades, people start migrating back to northern rust-belt cities that are generally less affected than coastal cities. we live in Pittsburgh and winters have become noticeably milder. and if you're fortunate enough to live a bit away from a river or stream, climate change, strangely, has been a net positive.

Really great article. I only wish you also covered the immense disparate impact on communities of color. This analysis paints the picture https://www.washingtonpost.com/climate-environment/2021/09/02/ida-climate-change/

Thank you Donna. You're absolutely correct. People of color are disproportionately affected by climate change and climate migration. I mention Isle de Jean Charles in the article, where two-thirds of the population is Black. However, I neglected to spell out the disparity more clearly. I appreciate you raising it and giving our readers extra context.
