I fail to see how this is at all dystopian. Rather the opposite really.
Zillow will now show climate risks for property listings in the US

The service isn’t. The fact that it is needed/useful is.

Not really, climate is a natural part of earth. Every place has a risk level for various events, be is drought, wild fires, flooding, volcanoes, hurricane and tornadoes.
Even without humans present, given enough time, every place will suffer catastrophic conditions for the life living there eventually.

I’d say that capitalism merely treating climate change as simply something else to manage for fun and profit is very dystopian.

Redfin has been doing this for a while. It’s like “Oh wow! That amazing property is wildly within my price range! …oh… 100% chance of flooding in the next 30 years… but only 9% chance of wildfire! I like those odds!”

RIP Florida. Also if it were to show average insurance premium double RIP Florida.

I suppose now Ron Desantis will sign a new law that bans Zillow in Florida or something.

100% but half of people living there would think this is some liberal plot and ignore it anyway.

The liberal plots are in blue states.
