The American Dream wasn't built for climate change
Original: The American Dream Wasn’t Built for Climate Change
Grist argues that the classic American Dream — a detached suburban home, a car-dependent lifestyle, and cheap insurance — rests on assumptions that climate change is breaking down. Rising floods, wildfires and heat are making home ownership riskier and more expensive, and commentators are debating whether the ideal of the suburban dream house can survive in a warming world.
Why now: Ongoing climate disasters are undermining the affordability and viability of traditional home ownership, prompting debate about whether the American Dream needs rethinking.
