Searching For Home On Higher Ground

Searching For Home On Higher Ground

This week, we’re featuring an episode from our friends at the KQED podcast SOLD OUT: Rethinking Housing In America. This season they're focusing on how climate change is affecting where and how we live. Climate change is intensifying wet periods across California, turning waterways that humans corralled with dirt and concrete into wild torrents. When the river comes for your town, what do you do, how do you adapt? Is abandoning life in the floodplain the only real option? Ezra David Romero visits the Monterey County town of Parajo where he meets the Escutia family. He learns how a flood swallowed their hometown, and follows them for months afterward, as they searched for an affordable home on higher ground. Learn more about your ad choices.
