This might be a new one to Jazz Shaw, but, I’ve read this one a few times, though the climate cultists do not trot it out that often
In Hawaii, concerns over ‘climate gentrification’ rise after devastating Maui fires
…
More than 3,000 buildings in Lahaina were damaged by fire, smoke or both. Insured property losses alone already total some $3.2 billion, according to Karen Clark & Company, a prominent disaster and risk modeling firm.
With a housing crisis that has priced out many Native Hawaiians as well as families that have been there for decades, concerns are rising that the state could become the latest example of “climate gentrification,” when it becomes harder for local people to afford housing in safer areas after a climate-amped disaster.
It’s a term Jesse Keenan, an associate professor of sustainable real estate and urban planning at Tulane University School of Architecture, first started lecturing about in 2013 after he noticed changes in housing markets following extreme weather events.
Jennifer Gray Thompson is CEO of After the Fire USA, a wildfire recovery and resiliency organization in the western U.S., and worked for Sonoma County during the destructive Tubbs Fire in October 2017. Thompson said Maui is one of the “scariest opportunities for gentrification” that she’s seen because of “the very high land values and the intense level of trauma and the people who are unscrupulous who will come in to try to take advantage of that.”
So, yeah, they’re Blaming this on Hotcoldwetdry
While one extreme weather event cannot be entirely blamed on climate change, experts say storms, fires and floods, which are becoming more damaging in a warming world, help make Hawaii one of the riskiest states in the country. Earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanoes, which are not related to climate change, also add to this risk.
Oh, you mean like a string of islands with active volcanoes, that are in the way of tropical storms, get earthquakes from the volcanic activity, would be subject to tsunamis from earthquakes around the Pacific, and can generate their own with landslides from the volcanoes?
Maui has stringent affordable housing requirements for new multifamily construction, Tyndall said. But the practical effect has been that very little housing gets built. So new supply is low, both for affordable housing and rentals at market rate, “which just makes housing more expensive for everyone,” he said.
They’re islands thousands of miles away from the mainland, with low product supply for construction, especially since the government is beyond restrictive on cutting down trees for new construction. Most stuff needs to come on fossil fueled ships, unless you want a bamboo hut.
Katharine Mach, professor at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science, cautioned against immediately labelling a situation climate gentrification, because that makes it difficult to tease out the other factors such as decades of discrimination, racism and land use changes.
Gentrification is usually used in terms of white people moving into neighborhoods which were mostly black, often young hipsters/urban professionals, and buying everything up, making the areas safer, cleaner, better property values, more prosperous, like what happened in downtown Detroit. And this is what the AP is trying to push, forgetting to mention that it really would be more about rich folks of all colors buying out the properties, perhaps using third parties. Just like all that property Oprah has snapped up for nothing in Maui. And there is already talk about it taking years and years before the property is OK to rebuild, where the Powers That Be say it is too polluted at this time.
Seriously, there are over 800 still missing, lots of them children, and the climate ghouls are peddling their insane cult crap.
