    Oil

    Less than $2 in some of the oil states but what difference does it make if the OC is twice as high when everyone is driving EV's?

    The older you get, the happier you'll be with less stairs and an open floor plan with room for wheel chair races and wheelies. lol!

    Beautiful view! Lots of walking up and down stairs in that one. Zillow still has the listing photos.

    Oil

    What is maddening is that California affects Nevada and my portion of Arizona (60% of our gas comes from California and the other 40% from the east). If there is any blip in California we feel it more because gas goes to California first (of course). Right now we are 26% higher than areas that...

    Olivewood at Portola Springs by New Home Co.

    I think someone did. There is no sale history on the listing, but property taxes are based on net taxable value of $4,996,756. Maybe they overpaid the builder for the house and upgrades. The government is thankful for the $56K in property taxes for the year. lol!

    The Asian Population in Irvine in Percentage wise Peaked at 45.6% and then stayed stagnant for the last 15 years. Why?

    Irvine has something that most other cities don't have and that is the Irvine Co. They have a vested interest in the city and will benefit by keeping it clean as long as they are landlords. And they still have land that can bring in new taxes and alot per property. The school district closes...

    President Trump

    We never made that kind of salary, for one thing I retired when I was 42. I did have an etsy shop for a while but it was just a hobby type thing, so only one salary but pretty significant stock trade income but it still irritates me to no end to hear the "rich" need to pay their fair share...

    But there are stock options too. There has to be high income people to be able to qualify for higher priced homes even if they move equity from previous houses because the property taxes will be a major expense due to the high base (and add in mello if it's still applicable). We bought and sold...
