I tried Frank’s bbq a few weeks ago, was very disappointed with the taste of the bbq pork and the roast duck. I now go to Monterey Park to get a ton of Cantonese bbq, vacuum freeze into small bags, and defrost when needed. Cheaper and taste better.

Wow, this is the most thorough summary of the Great Park pollution issue I've ever read. Thanks for putting this together! Heath issues related to pollution can take years to show. It is difficult to prove the connection. There are no data available to prove or disprove that Great Park pollution...

I heard that if you leave your windows open you could smell it once in a while. We never opened our windows during those hours and never smelt anything.

I heard they mostly emit at night/early morning. Might want to check during then

After comparing rates from a number of lenders, I also end up refi with Ally. 2.875%, no cost, 30 year fixed, Jumbo.

GP MR also goes up (2%/year if I remember correctly) every year and will never expire. MR of other places won?t increase and will go down when reaches expiration. It will further increase the delta over time

I saw that house for sell in 2018 asking for 1.7M, thought the seller was crazy back then.. What's the deal with Gazebo? My buyers wanted to make an offer but they told me off the bat they aren't looking at offers under $1.75M. But they still aren't in escrow yet. They are playing games and...

I am also looking to refi a jumbo loan and the rate I got is from Watermark with 3.0% $1500 closing 30 year fixed. Another agent offered me a bette rate but turned out to be a bait/switch. Can anyone recommend a good loan agent preferably with a big bank? Thanks!
