SOLD OUT: Rethinking Housing in America

The third season of Sold Out examines the intersection of the climate and housing crises. Hosted by Erin Baldassari, the series tells the stories of families and communities throughout California, as we all grapple with the ways that climate is challenging our very idea of home, and our ability to live there. We shine a light on the solutions that can help us all face the future, highlighting the people who are actively working to protect their communities. We question assumptions that dictate how and where people live, while examining the barriers – whether political, financial or social – that hold us back from embracing or realizing change.

    Searching For Home On Higher Ground

    Climate change is intensifying wet periods across California - untaming waterways humans corralled with dirt and concrete.  When the river comes for your town, what do you do, how do you adapt? Is abandoning life in the floodplain the only real option? We follow the Escutia family, starting on the night that a flood swallowed their hometown, and for months afterward, as they searched for an affordable home on higher ground.

    Surviving Extreme Heat Without A Home

    Whether it’s severe heat, fires, or floods, people experiencing homelessness are on the bleeding edge of the climate emergency. We follow the story of one woman who is trying to keep herself and her adult son alive on the blistering streets of Fresno, California. We hear from advocates pushing lawmakers to find solutions, and creating their own. And ask, how is climate change forcing us to rethink our response to homelessness?

    Electric Avenue

    A quarter of California’s carbon emissions come from homes and buildings -- from the appliances we use to keep ourselves warm and our families fed. Replacing gas powered appliances with electric ones is one way to make a big impact, but the process is slow and expensive. We head to a neighborhood in Oakland that is taking a revolutionary approach to reducing their emissions: by electrifying together, all at once. We talk to the gung ho enthusiasts and the holdouts and explore the roadblocks to success.

    Reimagining Our Cities For The Climate

    What if there was a way that California could build the housing it needs and drastically cut carbon emissions at the same time? City planners and environmentalists say this unicorn does exist: transit-oriented housing. It sounds great in theory, but in practice, it’s more complicated. This episode explores how one California city, built around cars, is trying to create a different future. We’ll examine how the perfect solution for climate change forces us to rethink the American dream of the detached single family home and the SUV.

    Surviving California's Insurance Crisis

    When a flood or fire swallows someone’s home, insurance can provide some stability, and prevent a plunge into poverty. But as insurance companies pull out of California that promise is melting away. In this episode we discover what happens to home insurance as wildfires get worse and what we can do to improve the outlook. And we meet two families living with the consequences of this uncertain future.

    Facing The Fire

    Growing up in California's Sierra Nevada foothills, wildfire has always been part of Sold Out host Erin Baldassari’s consciousness. Her earliest memory is fleeing a fire as it bore down on her childhood home. At the time, it was the state’s third largest wildfire, but now it doesn’t even rank in the top 20. As she considers moving back, she explores what it means to live in an area with known and pronounced climate risk. The question for all of us on the frontlines of climate change is: how do we adapt when our memories of a place are constantly clashing with new realities?

    After The Flood Waters Recede

    One night in March 2023, the rain-swollen Pajaro River in Monterey County burst the seams of a levee, flooding the rural town of Pajaro and damaging hundreds of homes. In Season 3 of Sold Out, reporter Ezra David Romero followed the story of the Escutia family, as they set out to find a new place to call home. Now, a year later, he shares their next chapter. Though the family vowed never to return to the floodplain, that vow was tested as they came up against the reality of high rents on California’s Central Coast.

    'Going Bare' In The Wildlands

    Rachel Traficante and her husband Mark have spent the last few decades perfecting their dream home in the mountain town of of Cohasset, California, and were devastated when this summer's Park Fire turned it and many of their neighbors' homes to rubble. Like many who live in the fire-prone area, they found that home insurance had become too difficult and too expensive to get, so they were "going bare". In the last season of Sold Out, climate reporter Danielle Venton explained the causes behind California's brewing home insurance crisis. Now, she shares Rachel and Mark's story of what it's like to try to recover when you can't count on an insurance payout.

    Forever Dreaming, California

    In a rural corner of the San Francisco Bay Area, a tech investor has a vision to build a walkable city atop farmland and golden rolling hills. The proposal could help solve twin crises confronting the Bay Area: a shortage of housing and the growing threat of climate change. But the project has generated controversy from the start, and getting it off the ground has been anything but easy. KQED's housing affordability reporter Adhiti Bandlamudi follows along to see what it takes to build something of this scale in California.

    Sold Out Presents: Sea Change

    Sea Change is a podcast from WWNO and WRKF in Louisiana that dives deep into the environmental issues facing coastal communities on the Gulf Coast and beyond. When we talk about climate change, we hear one word all the time: resilient. We use it to talk about everything from our houses, to our power grid, to ourselves.  In this episode of Sea Change, we asked our listeners what they think about this word, and we got some very strong reactions. And, we ask the question: how can we address both the physical forces of climate change and the broken social systems that make it an even greater threat? We hear stories about efforts from across the Gulf Coast – from storm-proofing homes to creating neighborhood disaster response groups – to help keep people from needing to be resilient in the first place.
