Insurers of last resort are state-enabled programs meant to provide insurance to properties that insurers refuse to cover. And yet in our @cplusc.bsky.social report, we find these plans are ill designed to meet their policy objectives, and are instead run by and for the private insurance sector 🧵
As insurance prices balloon & companies refuse renewals, state “insurers of last resort” (FAIR plans) are often the only coverage option left for many homeowners. Our new report explains how they often prioritize cost savings for companies, not affordability for families.

I went on an ill-fated hike that kept me from hosting this episode; the silver lining is that i got to hear Sebastian Solarte interview Prof. Herrera as a listener, and learned SO much about what makes successful social movements+policy change, esp. around environmental harms. Check it out!👇🔥

The antics of the global populist right are intended to make us forget that theirs is a project of class+racial domination + that we must counter it on those grounds. @bhbradlow.bsky.social reminds us of the power of fighting for equality at the scale of the city +that a more just world is possible!
Episode alert 🚨Its more important than ever to remember that grassroots struggles for the right to the city are one of the most important factors in creating more equal cities. This week, we re-run a much needed reminder from @bhbradlow.bsky.social on #Sur_Urbano. open.spotify.com/episode/0BgO...

The US DOT says it's planning to prioritize areas with high marriage & high birth rates for funding.
Our new analysis @urbaninstitute.bsky.social shows this would disproportionately fund:
—Communities with a higher white resident share
—Low-density areas
—High-income areas
—Car-dependent areas

DOT’s Plan to Distribute Funding by Birth and Marriage Rates Would Leave Communities Most In Need Behind
If enacted, the new US Department of Transportation memo would prioritize funding to whiter, higher-income, more car-dependent areas over communities of color and people who walk, bike, or take public...

The possibility of resistance in this moment requires that we understand why so many Latinos supported Trump+possibly the most racist and explicitly imperialist iteration of the Republican party. On #Sur-Urbano, @williamcallison.bsky.social + I talk to Prof. Daniel HoSang on the multi-racial right.
Given the militarization of immigration policy, + the stand-off between Trump and Gustavo Petro, it's important to reflect on why Latinos in the US tended to swing to the right in many key cities and jxs. @williamcallison.bsky.social and I interview Prof.Daniel HoSang: https://buff.ly/3EpC45W

Siento que las posibilidades de resistencia a este momento tan desolador requieren que entendamos por qué tantos latinos apoyaron a Trump, y el fenómeno de la derecha multi-racial. No se pierdan a @williamcallison.bsky.social y Daniel HoSang en #Sur_Urbano
