"In the future, more homeowners could default on their mortgages, driving down prices in communities even for those whose homes are less vulnerable (to climate change issues). Banks might stop lending, depriving the community of the capital to recover. “Potentially, we’re looking at a wave of mortgage defaults that would be similar to the subprime crisis in how it would play out,” says Michael Craig, an economist at the Department of Housing and Urban Development. As disaster unfolds, homeowners in cities across the country might start considering their own climate risk and run for the hills."

"Wright recalled a conversation she once had with an aide to Vice President Joe Biden, who told her that he loved House of Cards for its accuracy. Exactly how much does the show get right, asked the actress. The aide’s response: “About 99%.” And what about that missing 1%? “You wouldn’t get an education bill passed that fast.”"
