Zillow Doesn't Care If Climate Change Destroys Your New Home

2. It's not exactly Zillow's responsibility. Their job is to sell homes, or help others sell theirs

Putting this kind of information on the site was, I would imagine, seen as a net-negative by the customers who pay the majority of the bills, which is to say, sellers of homes. It probably also opened them up to possible litigation, so their lawyers likely didn't want this info on their site either.

If "we" as in the people of the USA want this information to be available to consumers, we're probably going to have to pass federal laws mandating its inclusion on all listings posted everywhere.

As the article says, insurance companies have this information, and one of the parts of buying property is finding an insurer. So, even more valuable would be stronger laws that mandate that property insurance companies divulge what they assume about climate change effects to home buyers when they are shopping for insurance. And we need laws mandating that they divulge it YEARS in advance before they are permitted to just close up shop in a region they've previously provided coverage for.
