It really is the point at which your standard American feels climate change. I mean, we're seeing that there's more hurricanes. Breaking news, Hurricane Beryl slamming Texas, making landfall just a few hours ago.

We're seeing that there's more extreme precipitation events. What we saw in L.A. is that there's more wildfires, more severe wildfires than we've seen in the past. But the way that it's affecting individuals is that we're seeing more property damage, more people being impacted by these events directly to their properties or to their communities.

Lots of times people live in places like Miami or they live in Houston and they'll say, oh, you know, the weather's always been like this in the area that I'm at. And they'll say, well, what about insurance? And they'll say, well, insurance is killing me.

And lots of times people won't make the connection that the reason insurance is spiking is because there's more damages and there's more payouts from the insurance companies.

I think we're at a point at which we finally have data to help make decisions like this. And I think one of the biggest problems that we've seen so far in the way that climate and real estate are being covered is that climate's driving down the value of home prices. It's sort of reversing the trend that we've had in the US for decades.

you know, a century where the American dream was owning a property and people have aspired to do that. I think what we're seeing, though, is that there's a lot more nuance to the decision making process than simply avoiding homeownership because of climate risk. I don't think people should avoid homeownership. I think it's still a good investment.

I think that there are ways to optimize that process now, though, that do include taking climate into account the same way we've taken other factors into account in the past? How do I, you know, optimize the home buying process so that I'm reducing the risk and maybe I'm buying a home that has, you know, a flood score of a five instead of a flood score of a 10?
