True. I bought in GP early on and my current Property Tax Rate (with MR) is less than 1% of the assessed value. Such a bargain. :D

The higher the price, the lower the Property Tax %. A $2.9M home with $15k mello-roos will only be about 1.55% property tax rax rate. Sounds better already.

I doubt it, they'll make the models amazing and tout it as a small enclave collection and start it at $2.9M minimum base price. Maybe I'm wrong.

He thinks starting in Low $2M for brand new Toll Brothers 3,500 sq ft house in Irvine? No way, maybe $2.99M if you're lucky.

I forget the name of the tract but I remember looking at these when we were house shopping. The inside was soooo tiny, living room and kitchen felt like 2 10x10 bedrooms with a divider between. Literally felt like living in a tiny home. I felt anxiety there.

Free Boba?

Orobae Yelp! page now says Scheduled to Re-Open on March 31st. Wonder if this will happen. https://www.yelp.com/biz/orobae-irvine

Yes, the TP Tea TieGuanYin Milk Tea has a really good flavor, one of my faves with the QQ noodles. My office is nearby TP Tea so I drop in there often. Will give Bako a try, haven't been there yet. The Phoenix Oolong Tea Latte is like $6.50 before toppings 😭

Not in Irvine, but tonight I think I'm going to venture out to Cha-Redefine in SCP. Last time I went I got the Pineapple Green Tea with Avocado Foam, man it was so good (Avocado foam was 💣 ) - Probably getting that again.

I'm guessing everyone that drives to Orobae recently ends up across the street at Omomo, making the line 2x+ as long as normal. Cloudy Co. is no good, I usually go there when Orobae line is too long, but last time everything was so flavor-less I told myself never again.

Ahhhhh serious, so no more Wagyu Meat & Grill exists in Irvine? 😭

Try Wagyu Meat & Grill on Culver or Irvine Center. Every day from 2p-5p they have "Buy 2 Plates, Get 1 Free". It's a savings of around $15. They have a rib plate as well but their beef and chicken are both good. I love the mac so I always order double Mac there. I usually go to the Irvine...

I hope they would just accept Mobile Orders so I don't have to wait 45 minutes while the cashier tells every customer that the Rising Phoenix tea leaf comes from a special mountain in China and has a luxurious nutty undertone with aroma of delicious oolong that was roasted at the foot of a...

Guys, I'm telling you try this at Omomo: Black Jade Milk Tea with cheese foam, 75% sweet, regular ice (to keep it cold enough), double boba (always brown boba). Get it, shake it up well BEFORE you put the straw in, and enjoy the frothy milk tea goodness with the best boba texture around. This...

@panda it's half sarcastic. I've been trying to get my wife to consider a move to Alpharetta but she won't even look into it. That's not it though, more personal - I'll be fine ;)
