Near the summit of Agassiz Peak, the second-highest peak in Arizona, in the Arizona Snowbowl ski resort in the Coconino National Forest, an amenity to visitors has a curious designation. The public restroom on the slopes of the mountains has been identified as the highest toilet in Arizona.

The toilets are near the summit of the San Francisco Peaks and within the only area of Arizona that is classified as a tundra ecosystem. Within sight is the highest point in Arizona, Humphrey’s Peak, which sits at 12,637 feet. If weather and atmospheric conditions cooperate you can even see the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, over 80 miles away.

During the ski season, the toilet is accessible to those with a lift ticket by riding the gondola near the summits of the San Francisco Peaks. During many months of the off-season you can still purchase gondola tickets and enjoy a scenic ride and magnificent views, and if need be, visit the highest toilet in Arizona to relieve oneself.

Millions of Californians say their state is switching to renewable energy sources too quickly, and experts say that its strict and costly new rules on electric cars will price more people out of the Golden State.

Polling from the University of California, Berkeley, has revealed that, while Californians broadly support more wind and solar farms, nearly a third of residents say the switch to green power is taking place ‘too fast.’

Meanwhile, Stanford University experts warn that looming new rules requiring Californians to spend tens of thousands of extra dollars on costly electric vehicles will drive ever more from the state.

California recorded a net loss of 341,866 residents last year, many moving across state lines to Arizona and Texas, which have lower taxes, cheaper homes and looser environmental rules.

Californians are split on the state’s speedy moves against reliance on fossil fuels  

‘As the Golden State’s exorbitant cost of living and strict environmental mandates grow, Californians are hitting the road,’ researchers from the school’s Institute for Economic Policy Research, posted online.

California is at the vanguard of cutting out fossil fuels, which release planet-heating gasses when burned, producing more than a third of its power from renewables, according to the US Energy Information Administration.

In recent weeks, officials have greenlighted a study into wave and tidal energy potential off the state’s 840-mile coastline, and required more than 5,300 companies to report more details about their carbon dioxide emissions.

Gov Gavin Newsom, a Democrat understood to have ambitions to become US president, also signed a bill to study and plan for solar farms running in the vacant lots alongside the more than 15,000 miles of state highways.

The state has also asked the Biden administration to approve a plan to require all new vehicles sold in the state by 2035 to be either electric or plug-in electric hybrids, speeding the end of gasoline-powered vehicles.

A poll by Berkley’s Institute of Governmental Studies shows that voters broadly support this switch to the growing number of wind turbines and solar arrays that can be seen across the state.

But that still leaves 29 percent of voters saying the switch from hydrocarbons is happening ‘too fast.’

This is especially true among Republican voters. More than two thirds — 67 percent — say they want the administration of Democratic Gov Gavin Newsom to slow down the move away from fossil fuels.

‘The state’s voters largely back its climate change initiatives, although the partisan differences evident in many other policy areas are also present.’ said the institute’s co-director Eric Schickler.

Older Californians, as well as those living in the Central Valley, the North Coast and the Sierra Nevada mountain range, are more likely than others to use oil, coal, and other carbon fuels for longer, the poll showed.

Stanford scholars Bruce Cain and Preeti Hehmeyer in their new research warn that California’s speedy switch to renewables could be denting the appeal of a state that has in recent years been waving goodbye to residents.

The state’s population grew massively throughout the 20th Century, but peaked in about 2019-2020 and has been slowly declining since, thanks to fewer births and more residents moving out, often for cheaper living in Texas and Arizona.

In their paper, California’s population drain, Cain and Hehmeyer argue that tight environmental rules and the additional costs they place on consumers make one more reason for residents to leave.

Californians already pay over the odds for housing, they say. Making them shell out an average of $640,000 on an EV truck, when the diesel-powered equivalent is just $160,000, could be the last straw for a cash-strapped resident.

‘There is reason to be hopeful that these prices will ultimately come down and that charging infrastructure will eventually catch up, but the intervening years could be rough, and with more population and commercial outflows,’ the eight-page report. 

California voters were keener on EV subsidies than those in Texas or Arizona

In their survey of more than 3,000 people across Arizona, California and Texas, they found that nearly of voters supported state subsidies for electric cars, another third was opposed.

Californians were significantly keener on EVs than residents of the other states.

The research was released at the same time as new US Census Bureau data revealed that California and New York combined lost nearly 1.4 million residents last year.

Overall, California recorded a net loss of 341,866 people, compared to 244,137 for New York.

Population experts have long studied America’s people flows.

Some explanations for interstate migration patterns are widely accepted.

Americans mostly relocate for better jobs, affordable housing, cheaper living costs, and to lower their tax bills.

Some move away from high crimes areas, homelessness, and the sight of drug addicts stumbling on the sidewalk.

Social problems have been a headache for officials in such cities as San Francisco and Portland.

Still, William Frey, a demographer at The Brookings Institution, a think tank, said Americans mostly hit the road for money.

‘Interstate movers are motivated by employment, housing, and family reasons,’ Frey told DailyMail.com.

The top relocation trends of recent years have seen New Yorkers flock to Florida and Californians choose Texas, he noted.

The Arizona Cardinals got hit in the mouth, as the saying goes, and things could have gotten out of hand quickly Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.

Maybe that’s part of being a rebuilding team, the ability to fight back against the odds. Certainly the Cardinals did that, even though the score was lopsided, 35-16 in favor of the undefeated 49ers.

“The resilience that we showed when we got down (14-0 and 21-3) … I thought it was good,” Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said. “That locker room at halftime was good and understood how we needed to get back in the game, what we had to do in all three phases and I thought they did that. And then it just got away from us.”

Christian McCaffrey was a one-man wrecking crew for the 49ers, the powerful, athletic and speedy back showing an array of abilities with four total touchdowns. Even though the Cardinals were aware of McCaffrey’s skills, they still couldn’t keep him from making big plays.

Cardinals showed resilience, but McCaffrey, 49ers were too much

It was those plays, plus some explosive completions from Brock Purdy to Brandon Aiyuk, that the Cardinals couldn’t prevent, and in the end the 49ers simply wore down the Cardinals by grinding out a long touchdown drive.

“Depending on what coverage structures and what spacing you’re in, they find ways to get him the ball,” Gannon said of McCaffrey. “I know he played a good game, he’s good player.”

That’s the thing about the 49ers. They are loaded with good players on both sides of the ball. The Cardinals are still trying to figure out what they have in many players. This was a matchup that showed those differences.

What went right for Arizona Cardinals

1. Josh Dobbs didn’t turn the ball over: Dobbs has clearly figured some things out since Week 1, when he lost two fumbles. The Cardinals quarterback hasn’t given away the ball via fumble or interception since that game in Washington D.C. He also ran the ball effectively with 12 carries for 48 yards, runs that kept scoring drives going.

“I think I made it difficult for us not to be one-dimensional,” Dobbs said.

2. Michael Wilson had a breakout performance: The rookie from Stanford, playing just down the road from where he went to college, caught all seven of his targets for 76 yards and the first two touchdowns of his NFL career.

“He does a great job of being exactly where he’s supposed to be,” Dobbs said of Wilson. “He’s a disciplined player and receiver. His effort is tremendous.

“We’re going to need him moving forward.”

3. The Cardinals only gave up one sack: Not bad against the likes of the 49ers’ Nick Bosa and Arik Armstead up front. Arizona lost starting center Hjalte Froholdt for some time in the fourth quarter, as he went to the medical tent for evaluation for a concussion. But Trystan Colon stepped in for Froholdt and didn’t look overwhelmed before Froholdt was able to return.

“The crowd’s into it, he comes in and blocks his guy,” Gannon said of Colon.

What went wrong for Arizona Cardinals

1. The defense couldn’t stop McCaffrey, Aiyuk or Purdy: McCaffrey had 177 total yards, Aiyuk 148 receiving yards and Purdy was 20 for 21 for 283 yards. McCaffrey at one point hurdled Cardinals cornerback Kei’Trel Clark, Aiyuk was a tough matchup for the Cardinals’ cornerbacks and Purdy turned in one of the best performances as far as accuracy in 49ers history.

Arizona Cardinals’ cornerbacks Marco Wilson, Kei’Trel Clark will keep learning

2. James Conner couldn’t find much running room: Conner has been the focal point of the Cardinals offense so far this season, but he didn’t find much running room against the Cardinals with only 11 carries for 52 yards. Running laterally, he couldn’t convert a two-point conversion, and the 49ers were quick to prevent big gains.

3. 49ers owned the red zone: San Francisco went 5 for 5 in red zone opportunities. Enough said.

What to watch this week

This coming week, Cardinals prepare for a Cincinnati Bengals team that is off to a 1-3 start and doesn’t have a 100 percent healthy quarterback in Joe Burrow. Where before the season, this game might have been one many felt the Cardinals couldn’t win, there is certainly an opportunity this week.

Could the Cardinals activate quarterback Kyler Murray off the PUP list this week? At least one report says no, but he is eligible to be added to the active roster as soon as Monday.

The only other player to get hurt in Sunday’s game was defensive back Kris Boyd, but he was able to return after missing some game time. Froholdt’s health will also need to be monitored as far the concussion protocol.

Grading the Arizona Cardinals

Offense (C-plus): Dobbs was solid and Hollywood Brown and Wilson were productive, plus the offensive line was fine and the Cardinals had a 99-yard scoring drive. But a lack of running game hurt, and the 49ers’ defensive quickness at times seemed too much for the Cardinals to handle. Against the team that scored a lot of points, the offense needed to keep up and didn’t.

Defense (C-minus): Aside from a second-half collapse against the New York Giants in Week 2, this was the Cardinals’ worst performance so far. There were good moments, like Dennis Gardeck’s fourth sack of the season, but San Francisco scored five touchdowns and ate up more than seven minutes of the fourth quarter on a 14-play touchdown drive. To be fair, plenty of teams’ defenses would have a hard time against the 49ers.

Special teams (B): A fake punt for a first down, and a Matt Prater field goal were positives, but the average spot where Cardinals drives started was at their own 21-yard line.

They said it

Cardinals offensive lineman D.J. Humphries, on if it feels like the Cardinals are a 1-3 team:

“The team doesn’t feel like that. But the record is the record. You can feel any way you want to feel. We are very excited about what we have going on and what we are building, but the record is the record.”

Gannon, on running a fake punt with a direct snap to linebacker Zeke Turner in the second quarter:

“It’s something we thought we would keep the ball in our hands and steal possession. Execution was great. That was a good call from (special teams coordinator Jeff) Rodgers there.”

Up next

The Cardinals (1-3) host the Cincinnati Bengals (1-3) next Sunday at 1:05 p.m. at State Farm Stadium. The disappointing Bengals lost to the Tennessee Titans 27-3 on Sunday.

The Cardinals are 6-6 all-time against the Bengals with both teams having scored 297 total points each.

Arizona Cardinals (1-2) at San Francisco Giants (3-0)

Time/site: 1:25 p.m., Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, Calif.

TV: FOX. Radio: 98.7 FM, 106.7 FM.

Last time they played: The 49ers beat the Cardinals 38-13 on Jan. 13 at Levi’s Stadium. San Francisco led 14-13 midway through the second quarter before pulling away with 24 unanswered points, including two touchdown passes from Brock Purdy to tight end George Kittle. Purdy threw for three touchdowns for his sixth consecutive game with multiple TDs as the 49ers clinched the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs. It was the seventh straight loss for the Cardinals, who finished 4-13.

Series history: This is the 64th meeting in a series that dates back to 1951 with the 49ers holding a 34-29-0 advantage. San Francisco won the last two meetings and the Cardinals won the two meetings previous to that. This will be the 43rd time the teams have met since becoming NFC West rivals in 2002. Sunday’s game will be the fourth in the past five between the teams to feature a different QB matchup. The Cardinals are 6-3 all-time at Levi’s Stadium.

Coaching matchup

Arizona: Jonathan Gannon picked up his first win as an NFL coach with last week’s 28-16 upset victory over the visiting Cowboys, who were previously unbeaten at 2-0 and had outscored their first two opponents 70-10. Arizona’s defense held the Cowboys to just six, second-half points after building a 21-10 halftime lead. Gannon was the Eagles’ defensive coordinator last season when Philadelphia knocked San Francisco out of the NFC Championship, 31-7.

San Francisco: Kyle Shanahan is in his seventh season as head coach and is 55-46-0 with the 49ers — 6-3 in the postseason. Shanahan’s 49ers are one of just three remaining unbeaten teams in the NFL this season, joining the 3-0 Dolphins and 3-0 Eagles. San Francisco has scored 30 points in each of its first three games. The 49ers announced last week that both Shanahan and General Manager John Lynch each were rewarded contract extensions.

Storyline: The Cardinals have put the league on notice that they better not be taken lightly after last week’s upset win over Dallas and two very winnable losses to open the season against the Commanders and Giants. But will they be trying to ride the momentum from their first win into hostile territory where they will be running into a powerhouse of a team in the 49ers, who have the league’s third-ranked defense and an offense that Gannon described as schematically, “probably the best in the world, truthfully.” Shanahan returned the compliment when he said of the Cardinals, “They’re a team that really should be 3-0 right now.” Both teams are anchored by a sturdy running game, as the 49ers rank third and the Cardinals sixth. Neither starting quarterback, Purdy nor Arizona’s Josh Dobbs, has thrown an interception.

Arizona will win if …

  1. Dobbs continues to take another step forward in his handling of the offense and getting in sync with his pass catchers: There’s no doubt the play of the offensive line will be paramount in those efforts, but Dobbs will need his receivers, tight ends and running backs to aid in protection and they need to be spot on with their routes on pass plays.
  2. James Conner and the run game can wear out the defense: This won’t be easy, but it can be done, and Conner and the Cardinals have proven that on occasion. The more the rushing attack can keep the chains moving and control the time of possession, the more the 49ers’ defense might start to falter. Besides, success here keeps the 49ers’ dangerous offense off the field.
  3. The defense forces at least two turnovers: One won’t be enough against this opponent, but with two the Cardinals might have a real chance at scoring a second straight upset. Arizona has forced five turnovers thus far and the pass rush has generated 11 sacks, so the resources have been there. If the Cardinals bring their same intensity and bring the fight to the 49ers, they’ll have a shot.

Brock Purdy #13 and George Kittle #85 of the San Francisco 49ers celebrate a touchdown scored by Deebo Samuel #19 against the New York Giants during the fourth quarter in the game at Levi's Stadium on Sept. 21, 2023, in Santa Clara, California.

San Francisco will win if …

  1. Purdy is kept clean, and his quick timing and rhythm aren’t interrupted: That’s what Gannon says makes the Queen Creek native and former Gilbert Perry High standout so dangerous, especially in Shanahan’s array of shifts, misdirection and deceptive offensive sets. If Purdy is left free to operate, he and his playmakers will torch you.
  2. Running back Christian McCaffrey goes off: The all-purpose back leads the NFL in rushing with 353 yards and is averaging 5.9 yards per carry. He’s had 100 or more rushing yards in five of his last eight regular-season games, but he can also beat teams in the passing game, where he’s had 22 receiving TDs in his eight NFL seasons.
  3. The defense shuts down Conner, aggravates Dobbs: San Francisco has been exceptional against the run, holding teams to just 53 yards per game. That’s not encouraging news for Conner and the Cardinals. Defensive tackle Javon Hargrave (2) and star edge rusher Nick Bosa (1) have just three sacks between them, but they can go off at any moment and Dobbs must protect the football, make smart decisions and play quickly.

Mr. Irrelevant to Purdy-mania:Brock Purdy’s journey through the NFL

They said it

“It’s real similar because it’s the scheme he runs, just the fronts and the coverages. He had such a sound, good scheme in Philly and that’s what it’s been so far in these three games. So, we’ll see on tendencies and stuff, how that changes up. It’s still early in the year how he’s going to use his personnel and stuff like that, but you can still see he’s doing what he does and it’s a very tough scheme.” – Shanahan on the similarities of Gannon’s defense with the Cardinals and the defense he ran for the past two seasons with the Eagles.

“You’ve got to be physically, mentally and emotionally sharp because they’re going to make their plays. They’re going to hit you in the mouth, and you’ve got to be able to respond. Alignment, assignment, key technique is one of our principles to defense and you’ve got to do that faster than they do that on offense.” – Gannon on how he’s prepared the defense for facing a difficult 49ers’ offense.

“They’re really good, man. It’s either high-paid guys or first-round draft picks over there. They’re really talented and they’ve played a lot of football together. Similar to the last three weeks, we keep getting defenses that have played a lot of football together. They play a really good scheme. They know what they’re doing. They’re fast, and they have really good players. The onus is on us as an offense to match their intensity, match their talent with our talent and execution, and go out and still play good football.” – Dobbs on San Francisco’s defense.

By the numbers

8 – Runs of 20-plus yards by the Cardinals this season. That’s the most in the NFL this season and just one shy of their total from all of 2022 (8).

10-1 – Career record of Brock Purdy as the 49ers’ starting QB, including the postseason.

73.1 – Josh Dobbs’ completion percentage in his past two games combined.

1958 – Prior to Dobbs, the last time a Cardinals player had a completion of at least 60 yards and a run of 40 yards or longer in the same game. Dobbs had a 69-yard completion to rookie Michael Wilson against the Cowboys and also had a 44-yard run vs. Dallas.

123:24 – Total game time in which the Cardinals have held a lead this season. That total ranks fourth in the NFL. Arizona has trailed for only 30:27 of game time.

469 – Rushing yards by the Cardinals this season, the most in franchise history through the first three games of a season since the team’s first year in Arizona, when they ran for 478 yards.

45 – Yards covered on Rondale Moore’s touchdown run against the Cowboys, the fourth-longest rushing TD by a Cardinals’ receiver in franchise history. J.J. Nelson (2016) and Bobby Joe Conrad (1959) are tied for the longest with 56-yard TD runs.

Who will win and why

49ers 27, Cardinals 20: The Cardinals have played with much more purpose and passion than they showed last season, and you’d like to assume that will continue. But the 49ers are one of the best teams in the league for a ton of reasons and all common sense moves the dial to a San Francisco victory here. Now, if Arizona can keep things close and force a turnover or two, an upset could be in the making. The Cardinals, though, will need a handful of players to step up and be game wreckers on both sides of the football.

The Arizona Diamondbacks beat up once again on one of their main competitors for a playoff spot, blasting the San Francisco Giants, 8-4, on Tuesday night at Chase Field for their fourth consecutive win.

After falling behind, 2-0, after a half inning, the Diamondbacks scored eight times in the next five innings, including four runs in the second inning when they took the lead for good.

Ketel Marte had four hits and a walk; Corbin Carroll delivered a pair of important hits in the first two innings; and the Diamondbacks’ bullpen had yet another dominant night, picking up the slack after a lackluster start from Zac Gallen.

In improving to 80-72, the Diamondbacks managed keep pace with the Chicago Cubs (79-72) and Miami Marlins (79-73), both of whom also won, while gaining a game on the Cincinnati Reds (79-74), who lost. The Diamondbacks are a half-game up on the Cubs for the second wild-card spot and a full game ahead of the Marlins, who are on the outside looking in at the playoff picture.

Gallen gave up four runs in five innings, laboring through a 36-pitch fifth. Four Diamondbacks relievers each tossed hitless, scoreless innings, including the club’s top leverage relievers, Kevin Ginkel and closer Paul Sewald, who worked the eighth and ninth innings, respectively.

All four wins on the Diamondbacks’ current streak came against contenders. They play one more against the Giants before departing for a six-game road trip to face the New York Yankees and Chicago White Sox.

Gallen struggles again but Diamondbacks still lead

Thanks to an explosive offensive day, the Diamondbacks still lead the Giants, 8-4, after five innings. They did not, though, get an encouraging performance from Zac Gallen.

Gallen’s day ended after he allowed two runs in the fifth inning. The frame could have been even worse, but Mike Yastrzemski narrowly missed a three-run home run foul down the right-field line that would have cut the Diamondbacks’ lead to 7-6. Gallen proceeded to walk Yastrzemski and the next batter, Wilmer Flores, to bring a run home before stranding the bases loaded with a strikeout of Joc Pederson.

Although Gallen did strike out six batters, he ended his day with four earned runs on six hits and three walks over five innings. In four of his last five starts, he has now allowed 21 runs over 20 2/3 innings. The outlier outing in that stretch was a nine-inning complete game shutout of the Cubs.

After Gallen’s day ended in the top of the fifth with the Diamondbacks leading, 7-4, they got an insurance run in the bottom half thanks to an Alek Thomas triple and a Gabriel Moreno sacrifice fly. Miguel Castro entered for Gallen to start the sixth.

Giants starting pitcher Alex Cobb departs with injury

With the Diamondbacks already leading, 5-2, the Giants lost their starting pitcher in the bottom of the third inning on Tuesday night as right-hander Alex Cobb walked off the mound with a trainer.

The specific injury is not yet known, but Cobb had been dealing with a left hip impingement in recent weeks and recently avoided a stint on the injured list by receiving a cortisone injection.

Cobb was not sharp through two innings, but he also was not aided by his defense, which melted down during the Diamondbacks’ four-run second inning.

Cobb was replaced by Giants left-hander Alex Wood.

—Nick Piecoro

Diamondbacks take lead over Giants with wild inning

The first inning Tuesday night could hardly have gone worse for the Diamondbacks. But thanks to a second inning that epitomized their brand of baseball, they lead the Giants, 5-2.

Leading off the game, Zac Gallen gave up a triple to LaMonte Wade Jr. that squirted past Corbin Carroll in right field. Wade came around to score on a sacrifice fly before Joc Pederson took Gallen deep on a curveball below the zone that did not appear to be a particularly bad pitch. The early struggles came as Gallen has allowed five or more runs in three of his last four starts.

In each of those three, the Diamondbacks lost. Tuesday could be different because of how their offense fought back.

Carroll and Ketel Marte led off the first with consecutive singles and Carroll came in to score on a Tommy Pham force out. Carroll was again at the center of everything in the second, hitting a two RBI double down the left field line. Ketel Marte then walked, putting runners on first and second. They executed a double steal when catcher Patrick Bailey’s throw bounced away from Wilmer Flores at third base. Carroll took home on the play and Flores sailed his throw to the plate, enabling Marte to score all the way from first.

White Sox to hire DBacks’ Josh Barfield for high-ranking role

Arizona Diamondbacks farm director Josh Barfield has accepted a position as an assistant general manager with the Chicago White Sox, a source confirmed Tuesday afternoon.

Barfield has been with the Diamondbacks since 2015, moving from scouting to player development. He became the top assistant in player development in 2018, then took over the top job two years later.

Barfield will work under new White Sox General Manager Chris Getz.

Barfield’s departure was first reported by MLB.com.

The Diamondbacks do not yet have plans in place to replace Barfield.

Diamondbacks’ first round pick Tommy Troy undergoes procedure on foot

Shortstop Tommy Troy, the Diamondbacks’ first-round pick in this year’s draft and one of their top prospects, was wearing a boot on his left foot Tuesday when he met with reporters in the dugout at Chase Field.

Troy said he fractured the foot on a hit by pitch in March and made the injury a few weeks later when he rolled over the same foot. After playing on it all season, Troy got an operation last week. He is set to get his stitches removed in two weeks and expects to be back shortly after that to go through a full off-season of training.

“It was definitely bugging me a bit but still grinded through it, found ways to deal with it and find a way to win,” Troy said. “That’s what you gotta do.”

Playing through the injury at Stanford, Troy hit .394/.478/.699. After being selected No. 12 overall, he hit .271/.374/.469 in 27 games between the Arizona Complex League and High-A.

“It was everything I thought it was gonna be,” Troy said of his first taste of professional baseball. “It was just super fun. This is your job, this is what I get to do for a living. Everything I ever wanted.”

What to know about the San Francisco Giants

Like the rest of the teams in the mix for the final wild-card spots, the Giants seem to alternate between looking like a viable contender and looking as if they have no business in the race. They looked like the latter over the weekend when they dropped three out of four to the Colorado Rockies at Coors Field, winning on Sunday to avoid a sweep — and only barely as they almost blew an 11-5 lead. They are 6-5 against the Diamondbacks this season. If they win one of these two games they will earn the tiebreaker against them. (The Diamondbacks already have lost the tiebreaker to Cincinnati and Miami, though they have it over the Cubs.) OF Mitch Haniger had a good day at the plate on Sunday, though he has not had good results since returning from injury in late August. Similarly, OF Michael Conforto came off the injured list last week and had a quiet series vs. the Rockies. Both teams are starting their top two starters in this series. Both teams also were off on Monday.

Thinking of moving to Florida or other Sun Belt states prone to flooding, wildfires or extreme heat? You’re not alone. According to a study published on Monday by the tech-based real estate brokerage, Redfin, Americans are flocking to the counties hardest hit by climate change. For many of these migrants, pocketbook issues like affordable housing and lower income taxes are prime motivations. But the high cost to homeowners of extreme weather may cancel out such savings. 

Moving to Florida, Arizona or Texas? 

Redfin found that almost 400,000 more people moved into than out of counties with high flood risk in 2021 and 2022, representing a 103% increase over the previous two years. 

The same trend held true for other disaster-prone areas. Counties with the highest risk from extreme heat saw a net 17% growth in people moving in over the past two years compared to the prior two years, and counties with the highest wildfire risk saw 51% more people move in than out.

Redfin relied on data from the U.S. Census Bureau and from First Street Foundation, which publishes climate-risk scores by location.

Part of the draw of these states is the low tax rate; both Florida and Texas have no personal income taxes. And Arizona’s tax rate is also on the low side compared to other states. Add in the growth of remote work and the draw of sunshine and beaches, and it’s understandable why so many Americans have moved to these areas, despite the risks from extreme weather. 

“It’s human nature to focus on current benefits, like waterfront views or a low cost of living, over costs that could rack up in the long run, like property damage or a decrease in property value,” said Redfin Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather when commenting on the study. “It’s also human nature to discount risks that are tough to measure, like climate change.” 

Many of these areas also provide more new and affordable housing than the places that lost population, like San Francisco or New York City. In fact, a separate Redfin study found that areas of high risk — especially from fires — tend to build more housing than safer areas do. The analysis found that more than half of homes built since 2020 face risk from fires, up from only 14% of homes built from 1900 to 1995.

The Florida real estate draw

Coastal Florida, much of which is ground zero for risks like strong winds and flooding, attracts enormous levels of in-migration in the Redfin analysis. 

Florida’s Lee County received more net people than any of the other 306 high-flood risk counties Redfin studied, and a 65% increase over the prior two years. This trend continues in hot markets within Lee County, like Cape Coral and Fort Myers, despite hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to the area from the 2022 landfall of Hurricane Ian.

“Builders in Cape Coral have not stopped — they’re just building like nothing happened,” said local Redfin real estate agent Isabel Arias-Squires. “That’s largely because there’s plenty of demand for new homes.”

Climate risk in Florida is multi-faceted. In Miami-Dade, for example, porous limestone bedrock complicates efforts to guard against sea level rise when salt water can seep underneath sea walls. And on the same day that Redfin released its report, the temperature off the south coast of Florida hit what may be a world record for the hottest recorded seawater temperature, of 101.1 degrees Fahrenheit. Hot oceans are bad for corals and sea life, but may also intensify hurricanes, which are known to increase in severity as ocean surface temperatures rise.

All of these climate risks translate into higher home insurance premiums, the need for flood insurance in much of Florida, and comprehensive auto insurance. Years of insurance fraud and litigation, and insurance companies leaving the Florida market have also increased rates. The average Florida home insurance premium is estimated to be $6,000 annually, compared to a national average of $1,700.  

Arizona faces extreme heat and drought

On Wednesday, Phoenix, Arizona broke its record for extreme heat, with 26 straight days of temperatures of at least 110 degrees. The city has also experienced its fourth-longest period without rainfall, extending 125 consecutive days with no precipitation. 

Despite sizzling temperatures, Maricopa County, Arizona, which includes Phoenix, saw a net influx of 76,000 people during the past two years. That’s the largest growth among the 1,019 counties at high risk for heat that Redfin analyzed. And according to the U.S. Census, Maricopa County had the highest influx of new residents compared to any other U.S. county in 2022, not just those facing heat risk.  

In addition to heat risk, Arizona struggles with diminishing groundwater supply, and depends heavily on the stressed Colorado River for residential water. To its credit, the state has worked hard to increase water efficiency and conservation despite a growing population, but it also recognizes limits to growth. In June, the Arizona Department of Water Resources announced that it would limit new home construction in some areas of Phoenix where it could not guarantee adequate water.

Texas counties also grow

The next-biggest net inflow to counties with high heat risk was in Collin County, TX, with 61,000 residents coming to the county. Like Florida, Texas also faces hurricanes that pose flooding and wind risk.  

Louisiana shrinks

Unlike Texas or Florida, Louisiana counties facing flood risk are losing population, according to the Redfin study. Out-migration ticked up particularly in counties pounded by hurricane Ida in 2021.  Over twenty home insurers in the state have either gone bankrupt or decided to leave Louisiana after five large storms hit the state in 2020. That has raised insurance premium prices and left some homeowners in the state to wonder whether they will be able to afford their homes in the future. 

What is a homebuyer to do?

A house is so much more than an investment, cementing bonds to community, culture and sometimes family ties and traditions. So, the thought of having to leave a community, as so many residents did in parts of New Orleans and southern Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina, can be devastating. But getting stuck in a house that becomes uninsurable, or that loses significant value due to damage or risk, is also painful. 

There are a few ways you can protect yourself when moving to these areas of the country. 

  • Know your risk. Research a specific home for fire, flood, wind and extreme heat risk by entering the address at Risk Factor. Search as well on the city or county where the home is located to get a sense of overall community risk. If your house is one of the few on dry land but the rest of the area is flooded, you may lose access to roads, utilities and key businesses. For flood risk, check if you are in a FEMA-designated flood zone where flood insurance is mandatory.
  • Plan your exit strategy. Unless you plan to never sell your home, or to bequeath it to your family, think about how many years you will live in the home. Then research how environmental conditions may change in that time. For example, if you plan to stay for 15 years, you can use the Risk Factor tool to see projections for how risk may increase 15 years out. Making an exit strategy can help you avoid getting stuck with an uninsurable home, or one that is depreciating in value.
  • Reduce your home’s risk. “Harden” your home by following guidance on how to improve chances of weathering a disaster. For example, by reducing vegetation near the home that could fuel fire, installing a roof certified to withstand high winds or insulating your home against extreme heat. Some states or counties have grants, loans or tax breaks for residents to complete these kinds of projects.
  • Know the insurance market in your area. Before you purchase a home, understand your options for insuring your home with general insurance and, if need be, with flood insurance. Talk to neighbors and follow local news to understand if insurance may be a problem in the community.
  • Renters need insurance too. If you’re planning to rent in a high-risk area, consider renters insurance and flood insurance to protect the contents of your home.

On Monday’s “First Call,” Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward spoke out against a possible NFL rule that could make life even harder for defensive players.

Brian Flores is now a finalist for the Arizona Cardinals coaching job. Myles Garrett was injured during Pro Bowl games.

And the NHL is back after the All-Star break.

More for Flo’

Brian Flores, assistant defensive back for the Steelers, gets a second interview for the vacant position as head coach with the Arizona Cardinals.

So says Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network.

#Steelers senior defensive assistant and LBs coach Brian Flores is expected to have a second interview with the #AZCardinals for their HC job on Wednesday, a source said. He’ll also be interviewing for the #Broncos DC job the day before – and is a top candidate for the #Vikings DC job.

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) February 5, 2023

In addition to these possible openings, Flores was also a candidate for defensive coordinator positions with the Atlanta Falcons and the Cleveland Browns. Both of these positions are now filled.

SI.com’s Albert Breer reports that Bengals defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo and Giants offensive coordinator Mike Kafka are the other two remaining contenders in Arizona. He also says Arizona’s own defensive coordinator, Vance Joseph, and Bengal’s offensive coordinator, Brian Callahan, have been eliminated from consideration.

go too far

It seems that the NFL is thinking hard about getting rid of the “hip drop” tackle. This method of tackling resulted in a broken leg for the Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard during a playoff game in San Francisco.

After Mahomes yesterday, another textbook mechanism for high ankle sprains for Tony Pollard. This one seems worse, additional concern for fracture. Hip drop tackle again – not always a “dirty” game, but a technique with a high risk of injury for the ball carrier pic.twitter.com/1Tl78OFkPo

— NRL PHYSIO (@nrlphysio) January 23, 2023

Last week said Dr. Allen Sills, the NFL’s chief medical officer, said the technique could be eliminated. A hip drop is when the defender grabs the ball carrier from behind and then slides down the offensive player, dropping his body weight onto the ball carrier’s legs. This move has been banned by the National Rugby League in Australia.

Through ProFootballTalk.com, the NFL’s Competitions Committee is expected to consider new rules that would prevent this type of play, and Sills and the league’s medical staff would also be involved in those discussions.

Steelers defense attorney Cam Heyward waved the idea on Friday.

That’s so stupid. How the hell are we ever supposed to get boys on the floor. You think too much

— Cam Heyward (@CamHeyward) February 4, 2023

Not only that, but when hip drop tackles become penalties, the weekly controversy over how many are being called and how inconsistent the calls are will lead to chaos.

Back in progress

When the NHL resumes play after the All-Star break, the Penguins won’t be part of the action. They won’t play again until Tuesday. Then the Colorado Avalanche visits the PPG Paints Arena.

However, some teams within the Metropolitan Division will start again on Monday. Third-placed New York Rangers (62 points) host Calgary at Madison Square Garden. The New Jersey Devils, currently second in the table with 68 points, welcome the Vancouver Canucks. And the New York Islanders (55 points) have to take on the Flyers (51 points) in Philadelphia.

The Penguins have 57 points, good for fifth place in the division and last place in the Eastern Conference playoffs. The Carolina Hurricanes lead the league with 76 points. They reached the All-Star break on a seven-game winning streak.

Mendenhall appeared to face some headwind on Twitter over the weekend after posting some pictures from his playing days.

It’s not clear if Mendenhall’s “until the fall” is referring to the Super Bowl XLV loss to the Green Bay Packers after his fumble. Or when he talks about the Steelers’ recent playoff win drought, which has now lasted six seasons — including the last five of Roethlisberger’s career.

Discussing the game, this isn’t the first time Mendenhall has tried to massage history when it comes to that fumbling. And if he’s been chasing Roethlisberger for the downfall of the Steelers in recent years, it’s not the first time he’s taken that path either. Mendenhall labeled Roethlisberger a racist after Antonio Brown’s fallout.

Best foot forward

Brian Flores gets his interview with the Arizona Cardinals on Monday. That’s according to Albert Breer of the Monday Morning Quarterback.

Sources: The Cardinals will interview Steelers senior defensive ace Brian Flores tomorrow for her job as head coach. Flores and new Arizona GM Monti Ossenfort joined the New England scouting department.

Flores also did very good interviews for the AZ job in ’18.

It’s unclear if the Steelers will fill that position if Flores leaves. It was created especially for him after he was fired as head coach of the Miami Dolphins a season ago.

The Cardinals had a head coaching interview with DeMeco Ryans. In fact, Ryans scheduled four interviews on Saturday. But according to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer, the San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator “stayed through his interviews with the Denver Broncos and Houston Texans, but then canceled the remaining two with the Cardinals and Indianapolis Colts so he could spend time with his team, himself.” prepare for Sunday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys.”

Cowboys defense coordinator Dan Quinn had an interview with Arizona. He, Flores and Ryans are believed to have joined at least five other candidates on the list for the job.

Speaking of job interviews, the Baltimore Ravens may be looking to bring in an assistant coach from the division to fill their offensive coordinator spot.

According to Cleveland.com, Chad O’Shea, coach of Cleveland Browns wide receiver, is in contention for the appearance.

An eye for capturing talent sure would be nice for Baltimore. The Ravens have sorely lacked that in recent years.

O’Shea has worked in the NFL since 2003. He started with the Kansas City Chiefs before working with the New England Patriots from 2009 to 2018, where he was part of the team’s Super Bowl LI win over the Atlanta Falcons.

On Friday, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Baltimore made a request to interview Los Angeles Rams passing game coordinator and quarterback coach Zac Robinson.

How much?

Over the weekend, ESPN’s Ryan Clark said Lamar Jackson turned down $133 million in guarantees from the Baltimore Ravens. Jackson is close to becoming a free agent or maybe getting a franchise tag from the Ravens.

We were chatting back and forth at @FirstTake yesterday about @Lj_era8’s guaranteed money.

Based on a source with knowledge of the negotiations, Lamar was initially offered $113 million in guarantees and eventually increased to $133 million.

That was the most Lamar was offered.

This agrees with a report published by Chris Mortensen in September.

That story states, “The extension years in the Ravens’ proposal would have paid Jackson a higher average salary than the contracts signed by Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson and Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray this summer, and also more money at the, according to sources Signature Guaranteed . But sources told ESPN that the Ravens also resisted Jackson’s desire for a deal that was fully guaranteed at signing, similar to Deshaun Watson’s $230 million contract that was fully guaranteed at signing.”
