What does climate change means for the affordable housing crisis? (Teresa Wiltz)

Of all the consequences of climate change that we know about, one that rarely gets discussed is its affect on the affordable housing crisis. Back in June, President Trump (who has denied the existence of global warming throughout his presidency) signed an executive order aimed at “tearing down red tape in order to build more affordable housing.” But as reported in Teresa Wiltz’s article for The Pew Charitable Trusts Statewide blog, “Climate Change Is Making the  Affordable Housing Crunch Worse,” the administration’s refusal to engage in efforts to reduce carbon emissions is creating larger issues than red tape to contend with.  On this week’s TrumpWatch, Teresa Wiltz explains why climate change is making the housing crunch even worse.
