"I can potentially see this ratio support getting really ugly where Asians will make up 65-70% of Uni High and 25-30% Caucasions in the next 5 - 10 years. These are demographic changes i have never seen in my life." i have seen this play out in both cities my parents have lived in... first...

i live at the village, and they left a note for me to come in to get my renewal rate... $1910 for my 2/2 (1060 sq ft). i asked if they could go lower and she claimed that she couldn't go any lower and that they were going to raise rates because they have a 94% occupancy rate.

not sure if this is true for highschool... but i had a friend that scored in the top 1% of the MCAT, with a 4.0 gpa at UCI... got an interview at Harvard for medical school, but got rejected... cause the people on the panel never heard of UCI. Point is, if you go an "unknown" school your...

BK, do you know the irvine company [or any other master planned community] tried to set a "benchmark" $/sq ft. the last downturn [~91-96]? And if they did, how successful were they?

i live in cambria it's a 2/2 corner unit (1060 sq ft) on the 4th floor i pay 2000. i've been here for just over a year. i don't know if the others are nicer but cambria is the oldest of the 4 and it seems nice and clean. the only complaint i have is that it seems like at least once a week the...

I'm starting to look outside of Irvine, not that I'm giving up on Irvine but if I were to buy outside of Irvine I'm thinking these two neighborhoods would be where I would look. Just wondering what everyone's thought were if you were to compare the schools, amenities, and value of these two...

i drove by the school and the neighborhood this past weekend. there is a sign in the parking lot that says the school is a "california distinguished school"... can anyone tell me what that means (i'm assuming it means it's one of the "better" schools... but what criteria does the state use to...

i'm starting to look at AV now and i was wondering why wood canyon is ranked so poorly in greatschools.net compared to other AV elementary schools. is the area that feeds into wood canyon, a bad area? any thoughts on AV schools in general would be appreciated too...

based on the main thread, (park lane condo next to train tracks and a toll road) I was wondering what everyone's thoughts were on what's worse to live by... power lines, railroad tracks, freeways, busy streets, under a flight path, or something else? and if you could rank which you would avoid...

<blockquote> Anybody else want to come out and admit it :)?</blockquote> i live at the village too... hence my cheezy screen name... :P

catchme, congrats... my wife and i seriously considered that exact house you bought... we love the layout, it feels much bigger than the listed 1275 sq ft., but since we planned on being there 5+ years and planned on having at least 2 kids 1275 wasn't going to cut it. one thing to watch...

i've lived at the village for 1/2 year now... i've rented apartments in burbank, buena park, torrance and most recently, costa mesa, this is by far the best apartment complex i've lived in, a bit more than the other places i've rented, but worth every penny. i'm paying 2065 for a 2/2, 4th floor...

"To say he wouldn't go to war is either blatant pandering, outright lying or a sign of very poor judgement and pacifism." or he could have thought that the reports were incomplete and needed more time for the inspectors or he could have thought (as i did) that bush and his team of crackpot...

we looked at the townhomes in woodbury and one in oak creek that had garages (not sure if the oak creek one was attached) and we ended up going with a 2/2 at the village by the spectrum. you don't get a real garage, but you get 2 parking spaces in an underground garage.

we would live in it... quick question, would any of you know if they sold all 15000 tickets in previous years?
