    President Trump

    Industry at least for today is under no obligation to have equal pay for equal experience. Unions don't even do that. You have to become an apprentice, then a journeyman, etc before you reach the top pay tier and even then it's a multi year process. Be thankful that doesn't exist. If you switch...

    "...cannot be denied is (many) people of privileged..." There. Fixed it. Back to DEI - raise your hand if you are ready to hop on a jet today, knowing full well it will be controlled takeoff to landing by a person with severe mental diminishment... Anyone... Bueller... Bueller...? Just to be...

    President Trump

    During President Corn Pops reign, Columbia accepted hundreds of it's citizens on repatriation flights. This was Trump Version 2.0's first time sending Columbian nationals back to Gustavo Petro's narco state. This was simply a Socialist and a Populist measuring their dick size and the Socialist...

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    Or this one..... https://www.redfin.com/CA/Newport-Coast/26-Faenza-92657/home/4749930 Remember, a $6-$7m OH home also means $1m worth of landscaping and upgrades are in your future. I doubt you'll get a 4 car garage, or views like a NPB home at a similar price, and your taxes will not be so...

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    Californiahas had its share of droughts and floods for centuries. Many of the original Spanish Ranchos (1700's) had to be consolidated during droughts that wiped out their cattle herds. The Irvine Ranch was a consolidated unit during a drought of the 1800's and the first thing James Irvine did...

    Orchard Hills 4 - "The Summit" Updates

    $7m in OH is like buying the same home for $5m in NPC/NPB/Laguna, with schools equal to those in Irvine. Sure, the commute might be 10 minutes longer from those locations, but $2m left in your account tends to paper over any commute issues.

    President Trump

    On the pardons: Bring each and every one up to Congress for an open hearing. Miley for treason, Fauchi for illegal gain of function research, Cheney for witness tampering, and Biden's brother for money laundering., etc. If they refuse to appear, perjure themselves, claim a forgetful memory, or...

    President Trump

    Mars is and will always be a dead planet. With it's magnetosphere wiped out, Elon may land there, but the astronauts aren't going to live long or prosper given the radiation levels. Would a Mars trip broaden our science? Sure, but I'm with IHO on this one. Fix what we've got first here on...

    ICE or EV?

    ....at the right price. The ID Buzz from VW fits the bill, but $70-80k?? Not going to happen. The market needs a $35-45k kid hauler

    New Listing - Single Family Home in Rancho Santa Margarita @ Melinda Heights (6 Ceramica)

    The paint should have read "HOA approved", and the palette was the original builder's approved colors. I will update the post shortly. The original was "salmon" (gotta love the early 90's), then a very light yellow (blegh) then a dusty greyish color - not white, not grey just terrible...

    New Listing - Single Family Home in Rancho Santa Margarita @ Melinda Heights (6 Ceramica)

    So, yeah... this was my house. After 24 years of living in our home, both time and circumstance collided resulting in our need to sell. Martin toured, made some strong suggestions to improve the marketability of the property to a wider buyer pool, and after a limited amount of updating, the...

    Pacific Palisades wildfire in Los Angeles

    Questions I'd like to be asked, part 1143: "If critically important environmental and social justice laws can be set aside for expediencies sake only, why are the laws there in the first place, Governor Newsome?"

    Pacific Palisades wildfire in Los Angeles

    All we need to do is stop aid to Ukraine. Itf there is money for them, then let's spend it here instead. Remember, anyone who says "The State of California can get it done" ask that person how their ride was on our SF to LA High Speed Rail....? BTW, that popping noise you now may be hearing is...

    Pacific Palisades wildfire in Los Angeles

    If we set up a Bracero program, I'd be fine with it. If they are doing any kind of work in America they should be paid American wages. One the rebuild is done, it's back over the border

    Pacific Palisades wildfire in Los Angeles

    The President should completely federalize the disaster areas in order to get FEMA relief funds. From that point on ensure rebuild permits are granted with a 30 day or less time period. No Coastal Commission or AQMD nonsense, no Union Worker Only contract requirements or other impediments to...

    Pacific Palisades wildfire in Los Angeles

    Bad. Do you have to fly into LAX? If not, Long Beach or JWA would be smarter. Also, Burbank is definitely out and Ontario is probably too far away.

    Poll: Irvine Housing Prediction June 2024 to 2025

    If purchased cash at 1.2M, the fees/taxes come to $1550 per month (+/-). If rent is $4,500, the net income is $2,950 or $35,400 per year. I can't calculate the depreciation benefits etc, so for now let's use the $35,400 as your income. There are fees associated with the purchase as well as the...
