As home prices drop, Colorado’s real estate industry looks to history to understand trends
If you’re house hunting, there are plenty of homes available in Colorado — nearly 10,000 at the end of March, which is up 41.8{515baef3fee8ea94d67a98a2b336e0215adf67d225b0e21a4f5c9b13e8fbd502} from a year ago. Prices are a bit lower, too. If you need a loan to pay for the house, though, that’ll cost more than it would have a year ago. Even so, mortgage loan rates are about where they were in 2008. And that’s roughly two-thirds lower than the peak in the early 1980s. In this Oct. 22, 2019 file photo, a sign stands outside a home for sale in southeast Denver.

Trump 2024 opponent Vivek Ramaswamy slams possible looming indictment: ‘Dark moment in American history’

National wave of curriculum bills fails both students and American history
Utah is the most up-to-date point out hit by the national wave of bills targeting community instruction. A new general public college curriculum bill introduced in the Utah Legislature, HB 427, would “prohibit the use of tutorial components and classroom instruction inconsistent with the principle of inalienable legal rights, equal prospect, and unique merit.” Vacuous as this description could appear to be, the monthly bill is rarely empty of this means.
