Lack of affordable housing in urban areas of California may be driving increased development in and near wildlands, leading to more severe climate change impacts.

Overlooked side-effect of housing crisis may be putting Californians at increased risk from climate disasters

Since the 1990s, California has led the nation in the growth of Wildland-Urban Interface development, with more than one in three households in the state now located immediately next to or within natural areas. This proximity to wildlands puts residents at higher-risk for climate-related natural disasters like fires, floods, and landslides.
