I think if there’s anything public policy should do is subsidize the relocation of these people. Give them ”last resort” insurance that when it pays out, forces them to relocate to an area without wildfire or flood risks. Let the homes be destroyed but not their lives.

It’s crazy to me that Chuck hasn’t read Dune. It’s right up his alley.

Love this content! Talking about urban planning problems and opportunities from an accessible level is what we need right now!

You’ll probably find the people you’re looking for by searching solarpunk. Also, Chuck also reads the very well known Anarchist David Graeber. This stuff is FAR from the traditional leftists you see represented by the liberal corporate media, in which they’re either called naive hippy dreamers or they’re or pretend leftists who are actually crazy right wing libertarians.

I believe the author is talking about far leftists such as Anarchists, certain Socialist/Communists groups who believe democrats/Liberals are centrists or even right wingers and see Democrats and Republicans as neoliberal corporate cronies. Far leftists, especially Anarchists, believe in bottom up approaches, very similar to Strong Town models. Many of these groups believe in much more nuanced environmental approaches realizing that there is no silver bullet and electric cars aren’t enough.

City Journal a good right-urbanist publication.

There's a huge difference between urban areas, suburban, semi rural and rural. To take a urban approach to everything is ridiculous. People have the right to create the town they want. Especially in smaller towns may not want a large government in a small town. That they already are a community with neighbors helping neighbors, churches etc. This urban big government being shoved down are throats by inexperienced ignorant I know everything with little knowledge. No forced Globalist urbanization!

As the hosts said "good idea fairy" leaders can be awful leaders - "hey guys, I have a great idea! I discussed it with myself, it's foolproof, and we're starting it tomorrow!" I think a lot of folks have had this kind of experience before

As Kevin stated, Milwaukee recieved a season's worth of snow within five weeks. Equipment, manpower and overtime is something that can be added but two of those three elements you cannot plan in advance and almost impossible to add on the fly. Another issue is snow melt and places to put it. If you get a huge dumping in a short time - in a densely populated area - you're going to have issues. Look at places like Toronto and the issues they have when unexpected snowfall occurs.
