    Best Milk Tea in Irvine?

    With the amount of customers blindly hitting the tip button of 15-22%, the workers there must make $50-60/hr!!

    New communities in Portola Springs

    Your situation is more of a corner case. It's highly uncommon for someone to be a "move-up" buyer within 2 years of purchasing a property. Congrats to you BTW.

    New communities in Portola Springs

    I don't think there is any concern these days for move-up buyers. The DOM reflects this and typically a "move-up" buyer will have a property that has a larger buyer audience.

    Frank's BBQ & Chinese Cuisine (Lake Forest)

    Tried the 3 delicacy combo and the meats were all decent (honey pork, soy chicken, bbq duck). What I didn't like was paying Vegas pricing for a place that's in a crappy strip mall in LF. DFC (Delicious Food Corner) in Irvine is actually CHEAPER and I would argue better tasting. And DFC...

    October 2023 Irvine Housing Market Update

    I haven't seen any movement on this proposal which was introduced more than a year ago. I'm not even sure it's worth discussing as it's so early on in the legislative process..

    Too Good To Go?

    Just picked up donuts and cashier mentioned they were made in the morning (tasted as expected). Great deal as I normally pick up donuts late morning anyway. Cheaper than the price I pay for 4 donuts.

    Too Good To Go?

    Car Garage - Torsion Spring

    Most stores won't even let you purchase the spring without a license. My dad found a shady place and drove to Riverside to pick one up.
