The value each resident places on MR paid facilities definitely varies. All those parks, walking distance schools, and sports facilities might mean a lot to one family, nothing to another, and everything in between to others. I suppose it's nice to know the MR costs & benefits in advance to make an informed purchase.

Private school tuition varies too, as do their locations. There's some real value to a 9/10 rated IUSD in walking distance vs a $xx,xxx per year private school vs a meh/10 driving distance public school vs don't care no kids in the household. Again, nice to be able to know these things ahead of time to tailor a house purchase decision.


If you compare the size of, for example, the Orchard Hills fire station vs the OH K-8 school vs the non existing OH PD station, I think it's clear that yes CFDs may pay for police/fire but the vast majority of MR, at least in Irvine, pays for parks, schools, and infrastructure.

@The Motor Court Company needs to PM me where they live so I can move there.

The worst part about MRs are:

1. The place already has infrastructure and there are no new schools/whatever going to be built... so really what are you paying for?
2. They take forever to build said infrastructure... like in Tustin Legacy.

It's part of the reason I've targeted resale or newer hoods where the MRs have been paid off. Which reminds me... when does Quail Hill MRs "expire"?
