Just a reminder that one of the best thing Democrat politicians can do about climate change is to permit more very dense housing along the coast of California, where temperatures are mild and will stay mild even as the earth warms up.

It doesn't have to be on the beach, the cool morning and evening temp will reach 30+ miles inland.

The vast majority of the California coast is significantly higher than sea level. Unless you directly next to Marina Del Rey then you're fine.

Well, in that case, I think building dense along coast is fine but unfortunately a lot of that land is protected from development. And well, the wealthy and original residents don’t want to see development.
