I thought Zillow stopped including that info a few months ago.

Zillow reminds me of FB marketplace. I don't use it because I like using it, I use it because it has the things I want to buy on it, cursing it all the while.

Federated marketplace when?

Zillow is just the first boss, you have to break open the MLS system

Florida real estate speculators are fucked even worse, then. Nobody thinks houses down there are safe, and suppressing the risks that everyone in the country knows about will just chill new buyers.

they will probably try to do the same with fire prone areas too. the pallisade fires happen because people decided to build in that area known for fires.
