  1. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🔍🏛️ A #study from the University of #Exeter shows that as early as the 1830s, a #London #realestate firm called Brooks and Hedger used cosmoramas to sell high-end estates.

    A #cosmorama was a gallery of #paintings viewed through a magnifying lens, giving the illusion of depth and depth of field. Artists hand-painted bird’s-eye views of each listing, offering buyers an early “virtual tour” more than a century before the #internet.

  3. We're suppose to worry about what AI is going to do to us and I'm worried what #Zillow already did to me - starting with eliminating an entire bathroom I use to eliminate every day.

    Ever try to get a good comp on a house with three bedrooms, but only 1.25 baths? Yeah no.

    Neil Matouka, who previously managed the development and launch of California’s Fifth #ClimateChange Assessment, is developing a proof of concept plugin that provides climate data to Californians in place of what Zillow has removed. When a user views a California Zillow listing, the plugin automatically displays data on #wildfire and #flood risk, #sealevelrise, and #extremeheat exposure.

  14. #Zillow Deleting Home #Climate Risk Scores Reveals Limits of Flood, Fire Data
    In a world assailed by #extremeweather, #homeowners and purchasers need to know their property’s vulnerability to wildfire or flooding. Ratings like those Zillow took down — which use the latest science, advanced computing and satellite imagery — are a big improvement on often outdated federal flood maps and state wildfire maps.

  18. Zillow decided climate risk data was bad for business, not for homes. After agents griped about lost sales, the scores vanished, replaced by a tiny link. The data provider warns the risk 'just moves from a pre-purchase decision into a post-purchase liability.'

    Should tech platforms 'optimize' away crucial data for sales?

  19. #Zillow drops #climate risk scores after agents complained of lost sales
    Zillow added the data to the site in Sept 2024, saying that more than 80% of buyers consider climate risks when purchasing a new #home. But last month, following objections from the California Regional Multiple Listing Service (CRMLS), Zillow removed the listings' climate scores. In their place is a subtle link to their records at #FirstStreet the climate risk analytic startup that provides the data.

  21. And this is part of a bigger problem. As climate impacts intensify, insurance systems are failing.

    Premiums rise, coverage shrinks and communities lose protection.

    The answer is not opacity and higher costs for families. Polluters must pay for the damage.

  23. The largest US real estate listing site has removed on-page climate risk data after industry complaints it was affecting sales.
