We went to Oki-Doki in Tustin for NY Day soba - excellent authentic soba and udon, Japanese owned. Crowded and highly recommended.

Do you know if it is Japanese owned? I think the only true yakiniku in OC is Anjin, Tsuruhashi and Manpuku.

Anyone buying a CT or X is foolish and doesn’t understand manufacturing - high quality only comes with high volume and rigorous testing. Really best to stick with the Model 3/Y. The software however is great on all of them - the best human interface outside of Apple products.

New place in Irvine - pretty esoteric menu. Anyone been? TI meetup?

We paid $11.5k. and the Halo is another $5K. I would do it now as any copper piping is a time bomb and the plumbers said Irvine Ranch WD has the worst quality due to the chemicals used. Also helps with insurance renewal and rates. I’m so glad I did it.

After a pinhole copper pipe leak that triggered a big water damage claim for the breakfast nook in our kitchen I am having the repipe done, and a Halo water system installed due to the chemicals used by all the OC water districts that create the buildup that compromises the copper. Was blown...

Yes. I’m going to check it out tomorrow. Went to Coastal Kitchen in DP last night - not a Houston’s restaurant but has some connection as it’s basically the Gulfstream menu. Incredible food and bar scene and very good pricing. No need to go to Irvine or Newport for a Houston’s fix!

We just learned the sushi bar at Irvine Gelson’s is massive and run by 2 Japanese sushi chefs. Anyone been there? The bartender from Irvine was at our Dana Point Gelson’s Friday and told us.

Thinking she was a competitive candidate was delusional - the Walz pick illustrated that right up front. My conclusion is Biden hates her so much after their debate in 2019 and after Obama forced her on him that he decided to drag her through the mud for 4 yrs, and delivered the coup de gras by...

I’m surprised this thread has gone cold given what happened post rate cut. Will the 10 yr hit 4.6%? What effect are these rates having on the Irvine market, and what is the share of Irvine purchases that are financed these days?

Who has a better software team than Tesla? Hint: no one. That and charging infrastructure are what matters.

Tesla just makes a better product. For normal driving anywhere up and down the state of CA you can find a charger with no wait. CA fuel prices will rise as more refineries shut down. I wouldn’t touch a non-Tesla EV. I’ll retain my CRV with snow tires for Mammoth Runs but no other reason to own...

The only state I would move to is New Hampshire, where we lived for 4 years when I worked in the Boston area. Ocean is close, lots of ski hills close by (45 mins from my house), cheap high quality seafood and no state income tax or sales taxes. Bedford NH in particular.

What effect will Trump’s promise to ban birth tourism have on Irvine FCB demand?

Higher interest rates are a good sign for economic growth but bad for real estate investing. 6-7% mortgage rates I believe will be the norm going forward.

Looking at all the amazing technology companies coming out of the 80s it seems the Reagan era restructuring of the economy and tax code unintentionally widened the economic divide within CA as well as between Silicon Valley and the rest of the state. Living here now for the most part requires...

Does your child stay all day?

The reason is obvious - she’s an embarrassment to the Dem party and they’re both owned by groundbreaking billionaires that want nothing to do with her

Chinese software? Who the f would want that garbage? Though it’s cheaper than Porsche’s crap EV software. I’ve been commuting to San Jose now weekly in my Model 3 Performance with FSD and it’s like riding in a plane. That is because of the insane level of innovation coming from a software team...

I used to play golf with “Nick” at Boulder Ridge in San Jose. I had no idea they are now selling franchises in SoCal. Their food is very authentic.
