[Change Order Group] The West Coast is Almost Out of Water and Dry as Hell: What Can be Done‪?‬ Change Order - Housing Innovation Podcast

In the past decade, each successive year has seen hotter and hotter and hotter temperatures, leading to drier and drier forests and increasingly destructive wildfires. Over ten million acres burned in the United States in 2020.

With water supplies several times lower in 2021 than 2020, this year is poised to see far-reaching infernos that could presage a new era in the West Coast that looks more like the Sahara desert than the Mediterranean.

The implications of a West Coast desertification can't be understated, especially when major population centers like China, India, South and Central America face their own catastrophes-in-the-making.

Change Order Group members Mike Eliason, David Friedlander, and Greg Lindsay discuss the data, likely outcomes, and what municipalities, developers, investors, underwriters, and citizens are doing, can do, and should be doing in the face of these monumental existential threats.
