Air Pollution From Freeway Extends One And A Half Miles Away ScienceDaily (June 28, 2009) ? Environmental health researchers from UCLA, the University of Southern California and the California Air Resources Board have found that during the hours before sunrise, freeway air pollution extends...

No one is mentioning the plume under John Wayne airport...LOL. From the LA Times 2000 However, liability is also a concern for county officials and taxpayers, who unexpectedly were forced to pay $4 million to clean decades-old ground-water contamination that was found during...

And I'm amazed at your ignorance. All organic pollutants toxicity has a half life and eventually will slowly disappear. The air you breathe near a smoker or on the I-5 has much more risk to your health.

Dammit Bk! You are really exposing too many things.

<<KB has a bad rep in Houston too, maximum sq footage for min price and poor quality. Homes < two years old selling now for $56/sg ft.>> Despite all my bad memories of all my real estate ventures in Houston sometimes I wish my hovel in Irvine was impressive as my Memorial monstrosity...

I was surprised...maybe the 'new' Chinese style is 'All hat and no cattle'. Supposedly these investors were touring Denver on their way to London and Paris. In the old days most rich Chinese were extremely humble and kept a closed mouth.

Certainly not Riverside. The Chinese RE tourists here in Denver are focusing on Cherry Creek, Greenwood Village and downtown lofts. It seems they do have a bit of money.

China Garden's dim sum is a disgrace to the culinary art. A week ago the Har Gow was disgusting and I was sorely tempted to return the food . Unbelievable that the place was packed and there was a 30 minute wait for a table. All those Irvine Chinese must be out of their collective minds. I'd...

Jeez IR! Are you sure this is helping your reputation with other realtors? At First Team in the 1990's in Irvine things were tough. Agent previews were serving Thai Chicken salad, honey baked hams, rolls and chocolate chip cookies hot from the oven, anything to attract a crowd of jaded realtors...

<,bk..not a personal attack or anything but why so many long anti-Irvine manifestos>> BK is a urban visionary and has an idea of his perfect neighborhood (can there ever be such a thing in the Los Angeles metro?) so he notices the many small imperfections in Irvine. IMHO he likes Irvine or...

Interest rates will rises when the Chinese stop financing the US lifestyle. 35% of the Chinese economy is export related and it causes the most of the environmental and social dislocations. It is fast approaching a zero sum game.

<<its very likely the declines will overshoot rental parity, just like prices went far higher than anyone could have predicted during the bubble. a number of factors could keep potential buyers on the sidelines even if homes are fairly priced.>> That's a very general statement and...

IR <<well over 50% of the buyers bear Asian surnames. (But do not make the mistake of lumping them all together: Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, and Japanese culturally are very different buyers with very different hot-points they are looking for in our market!) Also with a big presence were the...
