This one is for my climate peeps:
Just in case you hadn't heard, housing policy is climate policy. But it's not enough to change land use patterns to reduce pollution from cars. We're going to have to re-build a whole bunch of civilization away from climate impacts.
We've all been in those climate meetings (I'm thinking late 2000's in particular) where someone brings up need to integrate "adaptation," and is immediately shushed by VSPs and funders.
The time for shushing is long gone. We have to adapt. We can't live the way same anymore.
What does adaptation look like? Well, in immediate, it looks like ... losing entire communities to fire/flood, then kluging together a place for displaced people to live.
But *planning* doesn't wait for catastrophe. Changes to built environments take *lots of time and money.*
We're very late getting started on this, but while the best time to mitigate and adapt to climate change was 20 years ago, the second best time is right now.
We'll be talking about all these topics *tomorrow* with some of the best experts in California. us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regist…
Please join us! And while you're at it, join @cayimby and help us make California a more affordable - and climate-resilient - place to live, for everyone.
