I found this documentary on Vimeo called Razing Liberty Square. It provides a long term view of the impacts of climate change and gentrification—climate gentrification, as it calls it.
The film showed that regardless of intentions, people can do some messed up things. The long tail of racism.

"The glass dome might be a trope of science fiction, but some version has already arrived. It’s just more subtle than [Buckminster] Fuller’s giant contact lens, suspended over the city: The domes today are the buildings themselves. In a handful of decades, worsening air quality may divide everyone into those who can thrive 'in-dome' anywhere, no matter how bad the air outside is, and those who can afford no such protections, and must endure the harrowing consequences: more frequent illness, earlier death."

"In 2021 and 2022, about 1.2 million people fled towns with poor air quality, a Redfin study found. But that study also noted that many of these same towns also had exorbitant housing costs. It’s difficult to separate any climate signal in that data from a “rent is too high” signal."
I read that differently:
The people who are moving are the people who can afford to move. We will see #ClimateGentrification.
"For the billionaires and mere multimillionaires who have flocked to places like South #Florida, a five- and six-figure [#HomeInsurance] policy, while costly, won’t break the bank.
The result: an acceleration of #ClimateGentrification. Increasingly, only the affluent will be able to afford to insure themselves against the #ExtremeWeather, #floods and #wildfires on our warming planet. People of more modest means will simply be priced out, industry experts say."
#Hawaii's head of Emergency Quits as #Hawaiians Warn of #ClimateGentrification After #Lahaina Tragedy
In Hawaii, the head of Maui’s Emergency Management Agency resigned, citing health reasons, one week after the deadly wildfires started and one day after Herman Andaya defended not sounding sirens to warn people as the flames engulfed thousands of homes and businesses. Officials have now identified six victims as the death toll of 111 is expected to rise over the coming days. Meanwhile, concerns are mounting over “climate gentrification” in the tragedy’s wake. Many Native Hawaiians had already been priced out of their land due to a swelling housing crisis, with Hawaii ranking as the most expensive state to rent or own a home in the U.S. Hawaiians and residents of Hawaii have reported receiving predatory calls from developers seeking to buy their property.
Thousands of Americans are leaving homes in flood-risk areas. But where are they moving to?
A new study provides a clearer picture of the FEMA home buyouts program.
By Rachel Ramirez, CNN, Jun 21, 2023
"De Sherbinin pointed out that there is a process of 'climate gentrification' playing out in areas that have experienced climate disasters, 'whereby more affluent households are moving into ethnically diverse neighborhoods that are less at risk of flooding, and are even displacing local residents.'"
