In Silicon Valley, where all housing statistics tend to skew to extremes, black home buyers are far worse off than nationally with the ability to buy fewer than 1 in 10 homes on the market in the San Jose metro area.

New Jersey and Delaware are still the states with the highest foreclosure rates, while Atlantic City, Trenton and Philadelphia top U.S. metro areas in that dubious category, according to Calif.-based ATTOM Data Solutions, which curates national foreclosure data.

Here Technologies has opened a new research and development office in Boulder that will focus on improving its futuristic mapping system to ultimately help autonomous vehicles.

The company — based in Amsterdam and majority owned by Audi, BMW and Daimler — is working on what it calls HD maps to help drivers and driverless cars get a more granular view of the road from car lanes to landmarks. The Boulder office will handle an additional feature to keep maps fresh so motorists are warned of lane closures, new accidents or other road conditions.

“Building a map like we’re building is a huge technology and investment. We’re talking hundreds of millions that are being invested in this type of content generation by Here for the next several years,” said Sanjay C. Sood, Here’s vice president of automated driving.

System 76, a Denver-based maker of personal computers, is bringing its manufacturing here from China — a decision that has nothing to do with import tariffs, corporate taxes or political pressure to return jobs to America.

“The companies we’ve been working with (in China) to manufacture our products, we’re not entirely confident that they can build what we want them to build. And we also needed them to move more quickly,” said System 76 CEO Carl Richell. “And because we’re making the design, we can open-source the design. We hope this will lead to better hardware design in general.”

The move comes as an ongoing trade war between China and the U.S. — one in which President Donald Trump is proposing tariffs on steel and aluminum and China is fighting back with tariffs on soybeans, automobiles and aircraft. An earlier cut to the corporate tax rate had some companies paying employees unexpected bonuses.

This snapshot of urban blight, found in Lakewood but indicative of a problem that exists elsewhere along the Front Range, is a reflection of rising home prices and with them, growing housing insecurity and homelessness, officials say. Those realities underline the challenges associated with cleanup efforts by a small but rising number of communities where the problem is seen as a threat to public health, safety and welfare.

“We have skyrocketing home prices that are making it harder and harder for low-income families to find a place to live,” said Cathy Alderman, a spokeswoman for the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless. “We also know that with increasing rents, people are being forced out of their homes or giving up things like health care and food just to..
