    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    Hopefully we see more housing inventory of varying types in the future in Irvine. It is so difficult for our early career employees and to support different levels of income diversity.

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    Seems like Evergreen is sold out but I'll go check out a Magnolia model home sometime. I am more looking for remodeling inspo than to actually buy a new tract home, haha

    What's an example of a home with really nice upgrades and design features?

    Making $150K is considered 'lower middle class' in these high-cost US cities

    Personally, I wish there was more income diversity in Irvine. I know lots of people here want (and I personally benefit from) house prices to go up but the COL is insane for new early career people these days compared to decades past.

    Taco Tuesday

    Are the test items not available on the app? That's annoying.

    How come UCLA does not offer an undergraduate business degree?

    I went to UC Berkeley and the career services were minimal. I found my internships the old fashioned way (networking). I think Cal is a great platform with a lot of opportunities, but with very little handholding. BTW the business courses at Berkeley were extremely easy once you got into the...

    Some of my favorite tasty places to eat

    If you don't want to travel that far, you can get Picanha to go from Texas de Brazil on the Irvine side of the Market Place. Price is reasonable at $12 for a half pound pile of meat.

    Frank's BBQ & Chinese Cuisine (Lake Forest)

    I scouted out DFC prior to my in-laws visiting recently, and the food came out over-seasoned, oily, and gross. We took the in-laws to Meizhou Dongpo instead during their visit from HK.

    Burger Thread

    My fav item at Hopdoddy is the queso, but I'm originally from Texas and it's the closest I've found. Quality control is variable unfortunately so sometimes it'll come out watery and gross.

    Retail Openings and Closures

    It's Kin Izakaya for dinner in the same location as Nep for brunch/lunch. They close in the afternoon and flip the concept when they reopen later in the day. (I'm referring to the ex-EMC space in Heritage Plaza)

    I think the 34 Mann St is a better teardown candidate. We also peeked inside this house. Worse condition but better lot (I think) https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/34-Mann-St-92612/home/4698066

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    This $2m listing is a being marketed as a tear-down. Most of the pictures in the listing are 3d renderings and plans for a "shovel ready opportunity" https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/64-Mann-St-92612/home/4698057 Comps on the next street that transacted with the same strategy: 1.6m...
