    In defense of the motorcourt...

    My friend lives in Turtle Rock which have some SFH's with short driveways.  When they park in their driveway, their car sticks out on to the sidewalk.  His neighbors actually received parking tickets for this because...wait for it, wait for it...a passive aggressive Caucasian couple called the cops.

    In defense of the motorcourt...

    Even when you have a traditional SFH, you still have to watch for pedestrians on the sidewalk to get to your garage.  After living in a rental in Woodbury, I like the idea of the motorcourt because: 1.  Although I can't park on the street in front of my house, nobody else can either. 2.  People...

    woodbury 2010

    I don't see that happening with Orchard Hills, Stonegate and the rest of Portola still to be built.  But I did hear from the Woodbury Elementary principal that a new middle school is scheduled to be up by 2013 at Jeffrey and Trabuco.

    Low Income Housing in Irvine

    To add to PassingThrough's point, even other OC cities back Irvine's position that SCAG's affordable housing allocation is unfair. http://www.ocregister.com/news/housing-132775-irvine-scag.html

    Montecito / Sonoma / Carmel Pricing

    Is Sonoma still baking upgrades into their home prices? We looked at Phase 1 pricing and were turned off by the upgrades they were imposing on the buyers. If I'm buying new construction, I want to pick what goes in the house and not get force fed upgraded hand rails and secondary bathroom...

    Purchasing upgrades on a new built home.

    You should also consider the 8k tax credit. If your upgrades plus the price of your home is greater than 800k, you lose the credit. The Montecitos are all in the upper 700k range so it would be easy to go over.
