Climate Risk Shapes Real Estate Choices
Companies like Zillow are now integrating climate risk information into their property listings, highlighting concerns such as wildfires, flooding, and extreme weather conditions. An internal survey revealed that 80% of buyers consider climate risk when purchasing a home, indicating a significant shift in decision-making regarding where to live. This trend is influenced by the increasing severity of storms and climate events, which alter the considerations for potential homeowners. Additionally, California's Governor Gavin Newsom is navigating the complexities of artificial intelligence regulation, as he faces a contentious bill aimed at establishing guidelines for AI models. The bill has divided the tech community, with major companies opposing it while AI safety advocates support it, leading to a compromise where the bill will be split to satisfy both sides.
