tldr: Climate induced economic disaster- not gonna stop 10 o clock news understanders (cracker ass amerikkkans) from still blaming "woke" or whatever the media tells them to get mad at.
In California fire insurance when from $100 a month to $800 so it really bad for normal ppl. And the state just lets it happen.
This could lead to a 2008 style market crash at some point. The cost of owning a house keeps creeping up, and people might not be able to afford their houses. However, high rates make housing unaffordable, so people can't sell their houses either.
They can sell to portfolio companies who will aggregate them and turn the into company towns for gig workers
likely where things are going
I am fairly certain it's already happening just at very small scale and under the journalistic radar
almost certainly
What's happening is Amazon comes in and builds a warehouse or data center, then Black Rock comes in and buys up the homes around there area, then sells those homes off to developers who build "luxury apartments" near the data center. Bonus points if the owner of the developer is also contacting with Amazon.
This means they charge 80% of the wage earned at the warehouse for the apartments and can keep rent in lockstep with wages meaning a wage increase is just a shifting of funds from the warehouse profits to the landlord profits.
Also if that is happening in enough places I bet insurance companies will jack up rates everywhere just because they can
exactly, or just stop offering insurance in places where disasters are likely as already started happening
You would think that 
would at least fund FEMA
