How could you not be surprised about how they went for it? As i recall it was four parcels set to be auctioned off individually and Lennar took all four of them. Meanwhile, the company was acquiring old bases in nor cal. Sure, it was a bubble, but the sheer scale of the project and ambition...

anela, there were three votes, the first two ended with a majority in favor of airport. Did you know there is a prison and a landfill in Irvine? And a nuclear power plant at uci. I agree nimby's stop progress.

i believe police scope does not include parking enforcement on private property. The RV example is not applicable to every jurisdiction, it's a city by city decision. As i understand it, prices have held up better in celebration largely due to the HOA (i concede that this appeals...

how can you call yourself a promonent of small and limited government when you prefer the police and the city enforcing the broad and obscure code as opposed to a community HOA which you have far greater influence over? If anything, an HOA cuts out "big government". The point is, you can't...

skek, i appreciate the sympathy and i apologize for the abrutness of my response. However, your revised statement is akin to stating that if people weren't corrupt, we wouldn't need laws. Fact is people are passive aggressive just as people are corrupt. You are stating the obivous. Your...

Don't just post to make a cheap shot, i do that and it get's me nowhere. Look, again you are applying one, limited and extreme example across the board (if you argue that it wasn't extreme, well it was in the paper), this time at least isn't based on your own personal grudge but ti's a...

hancock park? isn't there a big problem with these older development and no just their deed restrictions, but their hoa's as well expiring and leaving many owners at the mercy of individual neighbors to maintain certain areas of their developments, notably hillsides abutting their back yards...

not saying HOA's don't reduce legal battles and i'd agree they are more litigiuous. What i did say was much more broad, that the reality of the world we live in is litigous and any industry, especially for sale res housing, is going to have to adapt to the standard of rules and regs. Come on...

eva, how one even think that hoa's are unnecessary in this litigious world we live in? how can a common interest development even work without an HOA? how can any development in this post prop 13 world work without an HOA? the answer is d. none of the above/they can't. They...

great catch morekaos, that has to be a typo. I even pray that $1.3 million is a typo. well, they aren't making more land by the beach unless you're in dubai.

khung, where do you live? Let me guess, a cabin in montana? "If my neighbor wants to renovate his house into unsaleability, that?s his prerogative." - well, when someone renders their house "unsellable" it generally drags the property values of the neighbors down as well, so it's not...
