    Irvine in 5-10 years, will the new construction ever stop?

      Obviously Irvine seems to be one of the fastest growing cities in southern ca, especially if you look at new construction home sales.  Just wondering if people have any opinions on how much longer this building boom will last?  Baring any major earthquake, I don't see the developers stopping...

    mattresses

    I bought a mattress of casper online, and although that seems strange to some to purchase something as important as a mattress online without trying it out, I love it and decided to pull the trigger since they had a money back guarantee so I had nothing to lose.  Here's a great article about...
