Agradecemos al Dr. Esteban López Ochoa, académico de University of Texas por la presentación del paper “Housing decay in the climate change era: neighborhood resistance stories from San Antonio, Texas” en el Ciclo de Seminarios Académicos del Doctorado en Economía de la @UTalca.
not just for #sanantoniotx, but for all cities in the US, as demolitions happen all across.
I am so proud of our URP students. They showed at the Texas chapter of American Planning Association that @utsa and @utsa_ceid students are well prepared to tackle the urban challenges of today and the future.

Now seems like a good time to mention that, thanks largely to @LuskinCenter faculty affiliate @CJGabbe's contributions, the 2023 American Housing Survey will contain a module on Heat Risk (and "Cooling Problems") for the 1st time

Two very different #ExtremeHeat realities in #SanAntonioTX, same time, only one day apart, but the lower-income and less green invested area shows 10F degrees more in air temperature than the greener area.

Not surprising, the air temperature was between 104-108F at SW 21st street today between 4-5pm. Surface temps were as high as 150F.
Sponsored by the @COSAsustainable at @UTSA we have been collecting temperature readings of the cool pavement pilots, effort lead by Dr Debbage.
The San Antonio Fire Department has responded to 53 percent more calls this month due to heat exposure than it did last June. trib.al/gQHOztw
I would add to the title…
“… , however we are still far from returning to pre-pandemic levels”
While the labor market it’s barely back at pre-pandemic levels, we seem much ready to accept this new “normal” for housing prices.
No news coverage on the distributional effects…
