this thread got hijacked by us Irvinianites.

HAHA, but mine isnt wearing a Nitey Nite||||| vs Ni-teeee Just playin, didnt even know someone had that name.

I am amazed at the insensitivity from some. I am sure a beater civic and bed only isn't your idea of luxury living, but to some it is all they can muster, or wish to. I lived with strange roommates at park west over 5 years ago, it wasn't ideal but instead of being crude, after my lease ended...

Qualification is less than 52k gross annually

Went by Harbor Station and Vantis N/S today to look at the affordables. GREAT deal. but there are caveats. The Vantis 2 bedroom affordable is not out until 2011. (earliest 2010) The Vantis designs are kinda shitty if you ask me (outside of the models there is a stunning view of the...

I am not buying, but is 399 good next to LA Live? What sqft is it and what are the comps?

You meant to say, airport, for daily flights from Sydney to OCX :)

I came to Irvine in 2002 left and returned in 2005, so I was not around for what sounds to be a clear lack of PR and wise decision making for the centerline project. I don't disagree with anything said by any of you. Density, City Structure with clear nodes, less road infrastructure, differing...

Not to mention Irvine Station will be the future home of HSR, and a fixed transit line would greatly improve connections to this future line.

I agree with your comments about how Irvine was planned. But I disagree that it would not be used. If you could connect Metrolink to the CBD/Airport and to the Spectrum, when the lines would open businesses would be growing again and offer attractive commute alternatives, bringing jobs back to...

(As a disclaimer, I am 28, I am not a green (I think global warming is a fad), and I "own" a MY07 car. I still stand behind "STARTING" mass transit, especially if it is 50% off. I hear all of your points, and I have taken some transportation planning courses in the past. Bravo! is coming to...

I am not sure if you have left yet, but I can highly recommend Couch Surfing. OC Register has a great article on it. 8.8.2008 I just did 3 weeks through Asia, and that was actually too long. You either have to do 2 months, or about 2 weeks. anywhere in between is not enough or more than you...

Well my jury is out on OCX, but it is very clear to me voter support for transit systems is sorely misguided. (The centerline fight was a bunch of ignorant yuppies worrying about land values, did a bunch of good) Many cities have these systems and they don't bring the negatives that some jaded...

The City council has voted to cancel the Irvine Guideway connecting the great park to Irvine Metrolink to the Spectrum and possibly on to the Hospital. http://svctwww1.dot.ca.gov/hq/transprog/ctcbooks/2009/0209/021909/38_2.1e.pdf They spent nearly 4 million thus far, and now scrapped any...
