Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis, highlights how rising insurance costs, driven by wildfires and other climate-related risks, are making homes in cities like Los Angeles, Miami, and Tampa increasingly unaffordable. Without insurance, homeowners can’t obtain mortgages, leading to potential unsold properties and driving up housing costs. McIntyre emphasizes that climate change is altering the financial landscape of homeownership.
