Well the people that bought in early 2022 like Care Bears and USC-"Irvine beats inflation"-TrojanCPA are hating life. Irvine median sales price is lower than the peak four years ago. Orange County as a whole is up 11% thankfully!

And only about 1/8 the performance of gold... So which is the safe haven?

Both the men's/women's hockey gold medal games were better than the Superbowl!! Just thought I would point that out. The no-look goalie stick save. Imagine getting your teeth knocked out just before scoring the game winning goal in overtime! Probably the best women's team of all time!!

France is getting in on the action. Murder in Lyon Contrary to initial media reports that described a “street brawl” between far-right and far-left activists, implying shared responsibility, it is now undeniable that a group of about twenty masked, hooded men encircled Quentin and the two other...

Larry started OC Housing News and there was a faction that broke off of TI and started OC Reader.

This topic prompted me to check the status of the remaining OG real estate blogs that formed around the time of the 2006 bubble. Calculated Risk - Decided to end the blog on Jan 12, 2026 and is only doing newsletter updates now (which I believe are by paid subscription). Dr. Housing Bubble -...

The thing about DFW is they have a LOT of land out there. Everything is spread out. We drove about 700 miles in five days just to get where we were going (which for us was multiple ice rinks and family visits). My point is that in the LA/OC metro you don't have to worry as much about range...

I was just on a trip to Dallas/Ft. Worth and saw exactly 0.0 electric vehicles. This is a metro area with 8.3 million residents. Some places would have an isolated charger here or there in the parking lot, but I didn't see any parking lot with more than four chargers scattered about, and they...

Yeah, but Lake Forest is nicer than Irvine so we make an exception.

This story jumped out at me since my son plays ice hockey. Despite the sport's reputation for fighting, the parents and fans are generally very peaceful. There's a lot of comradery and everybody knows each other from playing against each other or together as teammates for years, so this type...

Plus it's good job security for all the cancer doctors working at Hoag.

It seems not. According to the article: Still, according to updated 2025 numbers, the economy gained a paltry 181,000 jobs for the entirety of last year, revised down from the earlier reported growth of 584,000 jobs

Today is difficult, but in the not-too-distant future it will start to get easier. The oldest Boomers turn 80 this year. Over the next 15 years, there will be a massive number of Boomers either liquidating or passing homes down to their children. At the same time, you will have a shrinking...
