    Economy and Climate Change

    One of the great documentaries on the subject of consumerism and recycling. A must watch IMHO - "Buy Now" https://www.netflix.com/title/81554996

    Cielo million dollar price drops

    Perhaps capital controls or tariff issues are slowing foot traffic and purchases? Has the oversight of international money flow been tightened? If so, it wouldn't be as evident in resale real estate given that new construction seems to be the best place to wash your RMB.

    President Trump

    We're going to hear plenty about "The War Powers Act" (circa 1973 re Vietnam War) from Congress. We won't hear how SCOTUS has never ruled on WPA as being constitutional or not. Congress has never tried to enforce it, because SCOTUS will shoot it down for the junk legislation that it is...

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    Your snark detector needs recalibration. Also celebrities do these mundane things merely to be seen, or haven't been on People magazine for a few months. Newport Rich do it just in case they hear someone is scouting for TRHOC at Gelsons.

    President Trump

    I heard a new term for the B-2 recently and every time I see it on the news I can only remember it's new name: "Freedom Dorito" Trump took the bait laid out by the warmonger wing of the party. In many ways this had to be done, but it didn't necessarily have to be us. The next few days are...

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    If you live in the Newport Coast, you send someone to get these things for you or have them delivered.

    Apolitical discussion (impossible?)

    4) Should Israel kick enough ass and these 9th Century troglodytes are finally overthrown, that's the kind of regime change I can live with. 6) The Federal Minimum Wage needs to increase. Although the true "minimum wage" is 0.00, that kind of Libertarian utopian idea just isn't going to work in...

    President Trump

    Same Federal Authoritarianism on display in 1992 forward. This may be new to many of you, dear reader, but it's not new. Since ICE is simply doing their job in a lawful manner, what exactly are we complaining about? Given that these recent round ups were a host of child molesters, repeat...

    President Trump

    The writer used unnamed sources and "officials" (dog catchers? food inspectors?) to "verify" the actions listed above. The claims are suspect at best. I was told by a person in LA. "ICE went into a high school graduation ceremony and arrested people!!!" Which is simply a fable - one that is...

    President Trump

    B isn't an Oxymoron. Many people believe that if this was primarily a white lead protest (not "white nationalist", but the crowd being primarily white) that the heavy hand of law enforcement would offer a lighter touch - a double standard compared to version A. Deportations are handled by ICE...

    President Trump

    The narratives are: A) The rioters are Mexicans/Illegals/minorities since it's DTLA, Compton, and Paramount burning. And B) If these were white folks it would be considered an insurrection with "get outta jail cards" handed out. Neither thoughtlines are true. I know what is true: the US...

    President Trump

    I can assure you based on family at these riots: whitey was well represented all through the rock throwing crowd.

    @Liar Loan Is that $140k for 12 months, 10+ summer school, or 10 months only?

    President Trump

    A great deal of commerce and communication are both highly dependent on the use of satellites. Imagine the havoc if some of our GPS satellites went offline in a solar storm. The world is as dependent on satellites as it is on a functioning internet. (No, I'm not talking about Starlink, just...

    President Trump

    I'm guessing the DOGE cuts were planned as an offset to the BBB increases. DOGE cuts can still reach $1T if everything is implemented, but these nationwide injunctions have to wind their way to SCOTUS first. The Coppertone Caligula and Musk each have each other by the short and curly's here...

    Guess the buyer and the final price

    General Lyon passed away several years ago. Their inheritors likely just want to cash out. I'd offer $90m, then immediately sell the buildable 60 acre parcel off for $60m to Toll Bros making my net cost to buy $30m, a reasonable price for the remaining homes and site.

    Guess the buyer and the final price

    Who will the buyer be? My guess is a developer, given that a portion of the estate can be built out. Final price? $100m The Ziggurat in Laguna Niguel (80+ acres, but with a huge office building to demolish) went for $77m...

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    Do you believe the Party is aware of the funds needed to make this purchase, and how they were moved off shore? (I believe they do, but really don't care)

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    3/4 of the photos are of the outside. Christmas decorations on the fireplace and possibly also on the front door. You get all this service for the low, low commission cost of $250,000-$300,000 - if it sells at full price. Lazy agent. Lazy broker. A shame these actors are still allowed to work...
