The last time I looked all the wealthy climate change lunatics are buying houses on the coast and places that they say will be underwater soon.

How does the climate of MF intersect with the political climate of rent control?   

One critical reason: soaring insurance costs in areas where climate change and related risks are eroding the bottom line.

Big plus if there’s cities with warmer climate throughout the year as we’d love to have a vacation home we can use ourselves as well.

Since our climate is dry, I have seen folks do a lot less and as long as it stays dry then no problems.

I understand that the rental seasons may be longer around Asheville/Brevard, than in Highlands/Cashiers given the more mild climate?  

@Raymond B. is great at welcoming new folks to CT, but is cautious of reinvesting in the state due to the economic climate.  

(I'm sure you remember from the industry) The flaw with food trucks here in the Midwest is seasonality but in warmer climates it *could* be worth it.

I'm wondering if any of you have incorporated climate change considerations (drought, sea levels, wildfires, ...) into your investment location decisions.

which clearly demonstrates we have had the ability to construct much more energy efficient buildings for a generation, but due to inertia and low energy costs have lacked the political and economic will to put it into practice.While I am a big proponent of the Passivhaus principals and the EnerPHit guidelines for retrofit of older buildings - I'm presently working towards my Passivhaus certification - there is some evidence that the target of 15 kWh/m^2 per year, while cost effectively obtainable in most of Europe is not so in parts of Canada - due to our harsher climate.
