Artificial intelligence taking a more visible role in homebuying process

Published Mon, 30 Dec 2024 20:04:50 GMT

LAS VEGAS — Artificial intelligence will play a bigger role in helping consumers buy and sell homes, as it moves from behind the scenes to front and center in a whole range of areas, according to members of a panel at the annual conference of the National Association of Real Estate Editors in Las Vegas.Zillow, the country’s largest real estate portal, began offering “natural language” searches on its mobile app to bring up more precise results. Rather than setting filters across a limited set of criteria, like the number of bedrooms and ZIP Code, consumers can speak or type what they want.For example, a consumer could search for a three-bedroom house with a brick exterior built in the 1950s or 1960s with a large backyard near a public park in Denver.“Artificial intelligence will have a tremendous benefit to the real estate industry,” said Jasjeet Thind, senior vice president of AI and Analytics at Zillow, on Wednesday.Zillow has been deploying mac...

Two poignant new shows immerse viewers in an odd estate sale and 1930 farm life, respectively | Review

Published Mon, 30 Dec 2024 20:04:50 GMT

There was no shortage of people willing to play along during a Sunday preview of “The Estate Sale” — which is precisely what Catamounts hoped for with its latest productions, “Pride of the Farm” in Westminster and “The Estate Sale” in Aurora.Wait, two shows?Artists Brad Ramsey conceived of and created the installations for the eerie and melancholy “The Estate Sale,” written and directed by Josh Hartwell. (Michael Ensminger, provided by Catamounts)“I know; it’s just so dumb,” said the Boulder-based company’s founder and artistic director, Amanda Berg Wilson, of the collision of opening dates. (Each closes the last weekend in June.) “They both seemed like such cool projects, and ‘The Estate Sale’ didn’t have a traditional rehearsal process, and they’re in such different parts of town and have different partnerships. I was just like, ‘You know what? … ‘ ”“But we pulled it off,” Wilson added. And they have, offering theatergoers two experi...

How Mike Johnston won the race for Denver mayor

Published Mon, 30 Dec 2024 20:04:50 GMT

Denver Mayor-elect Mike Johnston’s ability to consolidate progressive endorsements and attract big-money donors that supported huge media buys in the final days and weeks of the campaign helped propel his candidacy to defeat Kelly Brough in Tuesday’s runoff election.In the end, the vote was not particularly close. Johnston led nearly 7 percentage points when initial results were released at 7 p.m Tuesday. By the time final unofficial results were posted on Wednesday afternoon, that lead grew to more than 10 points, a gulf of more than 16,700 votes.  From the perspective of Robin Kniech, the at-large City Councilwoman who did not endorse either candidate, the key to the race started with Johnston’s messaging and strategy.“Mike ran as a Democrat in a Democratic city and he had a Democratic record,” Kniech said. “I think it’s that simple.”City races are nonpartisan but both Brough and Johnston are aligned as Democrats. The two had plenty ...

Despite sheriff’s plea, ban on ICE lockup agreements becomes Colorado law

Published Mon, 30 Dec 2024 20:04:50 GMT

A bill preventing Colorado county jails from holding people over suspected civil immigration violations will take effect after Gov. Jared Polis signed off on it Tuesday, despite a plea for a veto from the Teller County sheriff.HB23-1100 prevents state and local governments from entering into or renewing any contracts with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to hold immigrants in county jails when immigration detention centers are at capacity or not easily accessible over allegedly violating civil immigration laws. Through these intergovernmental service agreements, known as IGSAs, ICE pays county jails a daily rate to hold the inmates. Only two counties in the state have such agreements with ICE: Teller and Moffat counties, and those agreements have to be terminated by Jan. 1.The new law also prevents state and local governments from facilitating the opening of new immigration detention facilities run by private prison companies. However, it does not apply to current facilities...
