In commercial real estate, the term "headwind" is common. A few degrees of added heat in Phoenix would be a strong headwind. The need to put your house on stilts in Miami would be a headwind, as would the taxes to raise streets a few feet. Or the seawalls around other coastal cities.
Phoenix is in the middle of a desert with limited access to water. Miami is a low lying coastal city prone to tropical storms. The 'headwinds' were always there but most people chose to either ignore them or deal with it.
