The American Dream Wasn't Built for Climate Change

Original: The American Dream Wasn’t Built for Climate Change https:// fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.wire d.com/story/the-american-drea

Wired has published an argument that the classic American Dream — a suburban home, yard, and car-dependent lifestyle — is increasingly incompatible with a changing climate. The piece contends that homes and neighborhoods designed for a stable environment now face wildfire, flooding, and extreme heat, forcing a rethink of where and how Americans live. Readers are debating how climate risk should reshape housing policy and personal choices.

Why now: Climate-driven disasters keep hitting American housing, making the piece's argument about the outdated suburban ideal resonate.
