I'm genuinely confused. Do 80% of home shoppers seriously not realize that the climate at one end of a city is going to be substantially the same as at the other end of the city? Or do Americans really relocate that far, that commonly? What's the point of attaching the "climate risk score" to a real estate listing, when it's realistically going to be the same score in every aspect for every listing you consider?
From the first link:
> While climate risk is affecting attitudes, it isn't to the point where majorities of buyers are considering a move to a region they consider less risky. About half plan to remain in areas that pose the same climate risks they already face. Some are even thinking about moving to areas with more risks. Only 23% reported that they are considering homes in areas that they believe to be safer from the dangers of climate disasters.
... So then I don't understand what they are doing with the information.
