One night in March 2023, the rain-swollen Pajaro River in Monterey County burst the seams of a levee, flooding the rural town of Pajaro and damaging hundreds of homes. In Season 3 of Sold Out, reporter Ezra David Romero followed the story of the Escutia family, as they set out to find a new place to call home. Now, a year later, he shares their next chapter. Though the family vowed never to return to the floodplain, that vow was tested as they came up against the reality of high rents on California’s Central Coast.
