Coastal living is already costly. It’s about to get worse.

PALM BEACH, Fla. — When Brian

and Susan Gary settled down on
this exclusive island spit a decade
ago, climate scientists were al-
ready sounding an alarm: Global
temperatures were warming, sea
levels were rising and damaging
floodwaters were creeping ever
closer to homes.
The Garys had joined 8 million
Americans who moved to coun-
ties along the U.S. coast between
2000 and 2017, lured by the sun,
the sea and heavily subsidized
government flood insurance that
made the cost of protecting their
homes much less expensive, de-
spite the risk of living in a flood
zone near a vast body of water.
But a reckoning is coming.
On Friday, the Federal Emer-
gency Management Agency incor-
porated climate risk into the cost
of flood insurance for the first
time, dramatically increasing the
price for some new home buyers.
Next April, premiums for most
current policyholders will go up
and continue to rise by 18 percent
per year for the next 20 years.
The price hike under a new
assessment, Risk Rating 2.0, will
more accurately reflect the threat
of flooding in a changing climate,
federal officials say.
Most homeowners will face
modest increases starting at $120
per year in addition to what they
already pay, and insurance costs
will decline for a few. But costs for
wealthy customers with high-val-
ue homes will skyrocket by as
much as $14,400 for one year.

For women
in sports,
the outrage
persists
In November,
after we voted in
the first woman as
vice president of
the United States
and when the
Candace fallacy of female
Buckner empowerment
was at its peak, the
National Women’s Soccer League
posted a photo and message on
its Facebook page.
It prominently featured
Vanderbilt soccer player Sarah
Fuller, who got a call to try out for
the football team as a kicker and
became the first woman to play in
a Power Five college game.
Framing this image were tweets
from NWSL players and teams.
The league added the clever
caption: “Empowered women
empower women.”
Such a nice thought. Cute and
melodic, even. Too bad the league
doesn’t believe its own
catchphrases.
In the NWSL, women have
been treated like poker chips in a
game dominated by male team
owners and decision-makers. To
describe the money they make as
a living-wage salary would be an
insult. They have no power to
enter free agency and decide
their career paths. The teams
own their rights. And this twisted
version of a “no girls allowed”

Megalomaniacs disguised as
coaches have been accused of
doling out verbal abuse and
calling it instruction. And in the

cases, one sleazy coach allegedly
leveraged a player’s minutes on the

CANDACE BUCKNER
In 2021, women’s sports are still providing more outrage than real empowerment
BUCKNER FROM D1
A rotting septic tank can go

undetected for only so long, and
finally the league is doing
something about the stench. On
Friday, the NWSL announced
that no games will be played this
weekend in light of recent
damning reports from the
Athletic and The Washington

its players refuse to perform and
demand accountability.
This historic player protest
should be inspiring, but anyone
ready to claim this as a victory for
women should politely have a

seemingly progressive league
created for women, which is
supposed to respect and
celebrate women — it’s a man’s
world.
The discouraging truth is that
it’s more than two decades into

Contemporary condos, historical Capitol Hill

A block on Capitol Hill near

Stanton and Lincoln parks has
been transformed. What used to be
a vacant lot now holds a modern
residence — at 207-209 Eighth St.
NE — with four two-story condos,
three of which are still for sale.
Heidi Smith and Arjun Ravin-
dra, two federal employees in their
early 40s, bought the first unit.
They have been renting in the
neighborhood, and the pandemic
encouraged them to seek a place
with more living space. They
wanted to stay in the city, prefera-

Eighth Street thanks, at least in
part, to a 16-month-old otter-
hound. “It was squarely in our
search radius,” Smith said, “and
we watched it be constructed
while on daily walks with our dog.”
These are spacious units, rang-
ing from 2,100 to 2,400 square
feet. Each has three bedrooms,
three bathrooms (including a
powder room), an office and an
outdoor space in the form of a roof
deck or a backyard. Two of the
remaining units come with park-

Should you
refinance?
Here’s what
to consider.
Factors include interest rates, an assortment
of fees and income obstacles that can crop up
BY H ARRIET E DLESON
The Federal Reserve announced last week that it plans

in the next few months to hike interest rates and ease up
on buying bonds, measures it put in place to prop up the
economy during the pandemic. And, in fact, the average
mortgage rate for the popular 30-year fixed-loan ticked up
this week — perhaps signaling that the days of historically
low home financing costs are numbered.
So, does that mean you should rush out and refinance
your mortgage by the end of the year?
First, let’s look at why rates fell so much this year, fuel-
ing the refinancing craze.
The rates can rise and fall for a number of reasons —

A guide to get
started if you
can’t resist
those rates
BY H ARRIET E DLESON
Maybe you’re like thousands of

homeowners who can’t resist
those rock-bottom mortgage
rates. And you’ve become enam-
ored with the idea of shortening
your term or lowering your
monthly payments — potentially
saving tens of thousands of dol-
lars over time — by refinancing
your loan.
Yet enduring all the research,
paperwork and scrutiny may
seem daunting and overwhelm-
ing. You’re not alone.
Experts say many homeowners
want to refinance but talk them-
selves out of it because they don’t
understand the process.
“I think some people are ini-
tially intimidated by the refi-
nancing process because they
remember all the steps they had
to go through to finance their
home, that big pile of paper they
needed to sign, and are reticent
to do that again,” said Jonathan
Lee, senior director at Zillow
Home Loans. “Really, refinancing
is much more simple than the
purchasing process.”
Here’s a look at how to navi-
gate the process and some smart
ways to get the best deal:

ket and the jobs report. But the
main factor in the low rates is the
Federal Reserve, which has been
investing trillions of dollars into
mortgage-backed security bonds
to keep the housing market strong
during the pandemic.
Over the years, the 30-year fixed
rate has varied dramatically. It
was at its highest level in 1981 — an
annual rate of 16.63 percent —
when the Federal Reserve raised it
to ease hyperinflation. It was 6.97
percent 20 years ago and 4.45 per-
cent 10 years ago.
Like other homeowners, you’ve
probably been inundated with
promos from lenders offering to
save you hundreds of dollars a
month by refinancing your mort-
gage at a lower rate. You may be
wondering whether you’re a good
candidate for refinancing and if so
whether it’s the right time to do it.
When is it advantageous
to refinance?

House of the Week
A family dwelling fit for a D.C. real estate titan
BY K ATHY O RTON
Abe Pollin built many apart-

ment and office buildings during
his career as a Washington real
estate titan, but he built only one
house for himself and his wife,
Irene. The five-bedroom, seven-
bathroom, 6,000-square-foot
house in Bethesda is on the
market for $3.4 million.
Pollin worked for his father’s
construction company, Morris
Pollin & Sons, before setting out
on his own in 1958, putting
together a group of investors to
develop the Robert Towers,
named for his oldest son. A year
later, he built this house on a
quiet cul-de-sac.
Robert Pollin, who was 9 years
old when the house was built,
remembers his father driving
him to elementary school each
morning before going over to
supervise its construction.
“He was there every day,” Rob-
ert said.
After amassing a fortune as a
housing developer, Pollin turned
to owning professional sports
teams. He bought a National
Basketball Association team, the
Baltimore Bullets (now the
Washington Wizards), in 1964
and a National Hockey League
team, the Washington Capitals,
in 1972.
He built the Capital Centre in
Landover, where the Bullets (lat- PHOTOS BY MARLON CRUTCHFIELD
