There are a lot of lawsuits already
I'll add to that that it will be exacerbated by the fact that many locales have not built homes to a spec that includes climate extremes (if this is mentioned in the article, I can't read past the paywall).
So not only will many structures have a harder time keeping up, but they weren't designed to withstand the extremes in the first place (e.g. cheap windows, weak or no insulation, etc.).
Oh no, the economy 😭
