    Woodbridge Vs. West park/oak creek

    No MR tax and lakes. Woodbridge was and maybe still is the TIC?s signature planned community.  Lot of amenities, no MR and very low HOA might contribute to the higher prices.

    New Development: PS-5

    It should be more housing.  If I have the time I'll dig through city documents see what I can find.  I haven't following these new Irvine developments lately, but from the last documents I've read from 2017, the entire PS 5B and 5C will only allows up to 584 homes. ...

    Orange County Great Park: Sports park, water park, ice rink, golf course

    Agree!! What happen to that 133 off-ramp at Great Park Blvd?  If they allow free toll up to the Great Park Blvd on 133, GP goer can utilize 133 freely as a more direct path to GP, that will alleviate a lot of traffic jam on Sand Canyon.

    When would be next housing Bottom?

    Yes, Seattle?s inventory is up 136% from a year ago and the sales is down 7.8%.  Sounds really really bad but if we look closely to the data, the inventory level is still only 2 month of supply. I believe the overall housing market only cools down from a really hot to a more neutral market...

    New Listing - Turnkey Park Estates home in Long Beach (1590 Ramillo Ave)

    Wow, this home is near that Circle Porsche!  I used to live near Long Beach and brought my car there for service. That area is pretty nice and since it's very close to ocean, its about 5-10 degree cooler than Irvine.  The owner did a really good job updating this home, very nicely done.

    Magnolia at Cypress Village

    Well, unlike most of IP's X models, Magnolia plan 3X is actually just reverse version of plan 3.  Exact same floor plan, size, etc. but just reverse.  Magnolia has that 4 unit deep "California Court" home with plan 1 & 2 at front and plan 3 & 3X at rear.

    $400k to get into Yale

    But $500k to get in USC is just stupid.  Is it that hard to get in USC nowadays?  Besides the absurd amount they charge for their tuition, one need to spent half a million to cheat in order to get in?  more on CNN:https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/12/us/college-admission-cheating-scheme/index.html
