Humans are the problem. Once humans destroy themselves the earth will adjust and things will go on just as they had before we were here.

 
JJ would be the authority on this, but most new homes will have solar in Cali.
Apartments' are not new homes? He is in NorCal. I am in SoCal, might as well be in a different state. All i need to do is look at the roofs. Plenty of private homes have solar around here for sure...but new apartments that I see and I see a lot here have none. The huge new 1,2,3room apartment complex , down the road from me, that I have been watching getting built for the past 3 months doesn't have any solar panels yet. Fingers crossed the final touches they go up but the lights are on and I don't see any. I am curious if they put in any ev stations. At least I know one upgrade they do put into the new apartments is Air Conditioning. Thank goodness. Most all of the older apartment complexes like mine have no AC and its unbearable. When looking for rentals the cheapest ones are always the ones with no a/c. If it does have a/c expect to pay an additional $500 a month. I actually just bought a new portable ac today for my bedroom. because we are Another heat wave now that was not anticipated. Hopefully this is the last one for a while. ITs too damn hot here.

There will be federal government help for alternative energy and EV charging points and if they do it right, those people at home with cars charging would be able to buffer the grid or keep their own houses powered by using the car battery for days, don't cook many roasts in the oven though! Elect democrats and you will have a robust new grid, elect republicans and you will have more shit and chaos with the benefit of losing your democracy and basic human rights.
 
I lived in Fort Meyers less than a year ago. Watching the hurricane news from California but it was so surreal because i knew the area so
Well. The broken bridge heartbreaking. What are the people on the island gonna do? It’s the only way on and off. Air photography shows the houses on the island and I was shocked to see how well they looked, most all in no damage! The dense foliage around the houses must have been key to cut down on wind? They did an incredible design to fight hurricane in building the houses but the bridge was a dumb design.

The bridge part did ok. It was the causeway, (the part on land) that washed away.
 
I too was surprised how many buildings looked to be in good shape. I guess the building codes were being enforced.

Insurance is increasingly hard to get in Florida, I understand there is a crisis coming. No insurance means no mortgage, no sales and plummeting property prices, long before it all ends up under water with sea levels rising and extreme weather events.

Mine had already gone up from about $1K pre Michael to 1.2K last year, to 1.4K this year. I guess we are going to increase our deductible to get the price down a little.

From what I can gather mostly wealthier people live on the coast and the poorer folks and Magats were driven into the swamps of the interior! :lol:

Waterfront is costly. Swamps are not that populated. We have a little swamp land, but it's mostly sandhills around me.

Highway 30A down at the coast is booming right now. Beau lives over that way, and was saying that none of the new construction would be there in 30-40 years.
