New York Times touts You Will Own Nothing: ‘Climate Change Should Make You Rethink Homeownership’ – Pushes ‘renting’ a home as ‘a better way’ – Written by a professor who owns his own home!

NYT: October 29, 2024: n economist and a professor of real estate and finance at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania.

Excerpt: Climate change is most likely making homeownership more expensive and less predictable in large areas of the country, and it’s only getting worse. 

As insurance premiums and property taxes rise and future home values grow more uncertain, it’s time for some prospective buyers set on living in areas with high risk of hurricanes, floods, wildfires and tornadoes to reconsider homeownership as a financial goal. Renting is quickly becoming a better way for many people to enjoy these places with much less financial baggage. …

By raising the costs and the uncertainty around being an owner, climate change is only swinging the pendulum farther from the dream of homeownership. … Being a renter might sound like a step backward to some — a return to your 20s and 30s — but in this case, it may be worth trading some control for reduced exposure and greater flexibility. A new American dream of renting property near the water — imagine that.
