You might be new here, but let me explain: trauma centers often carry a negative reputation among hospitals because they can impact local property values. For example, affluent cities tend to avoid having a trauma center nearby—think of Martin Luther King, Drew Medical Center in South Central...

Increase the population to diminish the FBI crime percentages.

Top private colleges tend to favor slightly blemished applicants from prestigious schools like Phillips Exeter, especially those from HW or East Coast feeder institutions, over flawless candidates from Whitney or Uni. The deciding factor often comes down to wealthy parents from these feeder...

I don't smell it, so it must not be there. I stuck my head in the sand; I can't see you, so I must be hidden. My trash goes to the Bowerman Landfill. Over the last twenty years, I’ve dumped unused paints, insecticides, old bleach, batteries, and more at the bottom of the trash bins. I’ve never...

Good exercise promotes a healthy lifestyle. I roll 3 bins, 250 feet each way, at my OC property. It's much longer for the East Coast property at 325 feet. Irvine residents are spoiled, with everything within less than 30 steps.

The cost of building a parking structure is $40,000 per stall. No home builder will carry the cost of building the entire parking structure just to sell a few homes in phase one. Unless absorption is through the roof, where a builder could sell 150 units per month, then the podium or a wrap...

The areas surrounding SNA MacArthur, from the 405 to Bristol, have been rezoned for medium-density residential development at a rate of 30 units per acre. These properties will be available for sale. However, it's worth noting that podium and wrap-style designs often do not prove to be...

What’s your reason for sending your twins to Uni High? Bright students often get overshadowed by their class standings. Having lived in TR for several years, I’ve seen neighbors regret sending their smart kids there, only to see top colleges overlook them. If your goal isn’t necessarily a spot...

If your wife, mistress, or girlfriend suggests Din Tai Fung for lunch but rarely for dinner, mention the Spectrum location as a better alternative. The Spectrum DTF is roomier and has shorter wait times. DTF at the Spectrum is $100. DTF at SCP, $30,100. But beware, waiting at SCP can be 1.5...

I encourage you to explore the different models and share your thoughts on the traditional layout, where each house opens up to the street, compared to the motor court design, where several homes are positioned away from the street frontage. Your feedback will be valuable in understanding the...

I have joined the 3CWG cult under the leadership of Irvinehomeowner.
