    The economy won’t function without denial. 2008 was only due to high risk mortgages. To face the fact that countless areas will be destroyed by natural disasters, and their value will not be backed by insurance… The value loss is something nobody wants to acknowledge, the economy would never be the same.

    This concept pop up every years and each time i am surprise by how happy i am for US politicians to be forced to acknowledge climate change and then sad for all those people priced out of living at a fair price in a safe place.
