Rec. #789: Heaven or High Water

What: In the article "Heaven or High Water," author Sarah Miller dives into the cognitive dissonance necessary for the luxury real estate market in Miami to even exist, much less be doing well.

The reporting itself is fascinating, but Miller also gives us sharp vignettes of the real estate agents who, one after another, make the case (apparently sincerely) that rising water levels are nothing to worry about.

Representative quote: "The Zen-like bedrooms all looked like ideal places for thinking about not looking at screens at night, while looking at a screen."

How to get it: "Heaven or High Water" was published this week on Popula.
