RMV is really far unless you are planning to take the 241/ Los Patrones. It really depends where your wife commutes if considering South OC. Anything in northwest OC would be quite far, but anything within reach of the 241/261/73 could be worth considering. Be mindful of CUSD, as their Board and...

Saddest thing about the petition is the removal of the flags representing the five military branches at the corner of Barranca and Alton. It shows how poorly informed Irvine residents are when signing a misleading survey. Shame on people for not caring and thinking. Shame on Larry Agran for...

Chromebooks could be great classroom resources, but they must be used effectively. I agree with the screen overuse fears and worksheet comments. The Chromebook is an excellent supplement to learning especially for skill reinforcement and practice. Google?s collaboration tools are great for group...

For most school districts, the entire week for Thanksgiving was taken off due to budget cuts and furlough days. Some districts have seen the value to maintaining the week vacation due to attendance ADA funding. Irvine has chosen to end their school year two days earlier than other districts...

Last year, Acapulco in Costa Mesa actually had a really nice buffet. Traditional Mexican fare in addition to all of your traditional American Thanksgiving fixings. I?d recommend it although some might think it is weird to enjoy a holiday turkey meal at their restaurant.

Maybe getting rid of the SALT deduction would encourage Californians to finally question all of the taxation in this state and why all of the money collected in the state doesn?t seem to go as far as people would hope.

Quite funny how the Landsea developer suggests the appeal of the Iron Ridge location is that it is not Irvine, yet the builder identifies that he lives in Orchard Hills.

Anyone ever thought it might be time to find a school board that has actual experience in education instead of law and business. It might actually help change from the lack of planning for the new schools and constant boundary adjustments. Latest example might be the two elementary schools...

Agree with the need for a food hall style design for WVC, but I think TIC is resigned to keeping it a lightly visited location.

The elementary school is Portola Hills, which has always been zoned El Toro as well. Not a fun drive for middle school down to Serrano Int off of Ridge Route and Jeronimo. A middle school would also make sense in the BR area.

Visited the Grocery Outlet today at their grand opening and was, as expected, underwhelmed. The store reminds me of a smaller Smart & Final, which looks like another potential vacancy in about a year. On a positive note, the outdoor areas are pleasant looking with a nice variety of seating...

I agree with the plug-in hybrid idea. A battery that lasts long enough for a round trip commute (100 mile range?), but also have the ability to travel anywhere without the ability to recharge.

Regarding Toll brothers proposal, although I?d still recommend a K-8. agenda2009.city-lakeforest.com/SIREPub/cache/2/5unw2th45wlbd0nrdmrzgxum/15658309252017085207986.PDF

I drive around the area frequently and have pretty good knowledge of the community although Irvine is home. I'm just an advocate of community involvement and schools being located near the newly developed communities. I believe Toll Brothers has harmed its buyers by not using its influence to...

Sounds like Baker Ranch problems excluding the pool.

I personally like the ability to walk with my children to school, but a short drive is ok. The problem is the rest of the parent population in that area driving their kids too. All I am saying is that IUSD offers schools within the neighborhoods and BR (Toll) messed up by not advocating for a...

Personally, I think some of the BR properties and amenities are great and we would buy in BR if it weren't for one thing. We can have our elementary school aged kids walk safely to their school in Irvine. There is no safe way for kids to get to the elementary, intermediate, or high school zoned...

This comment combined with a local elementary school versus elementary school outside of immediate walking distance in SVUSD. Will BR demand a new school? It appears people are spending the money, but not spending the time to share their opinions with the board.

We'd choose OH3 over PS any day if given the opportunity. PS really changed things when their retail was rezoned to the elementary school a few years ago.

I won't disagree with you SoCal, but that's where more families need to show up at school board meetings and make their case. I agree, the growth within the ETHS boundary will be exceptional and Trabuco will add the equivalent of one teacher due to conservative enrollment projections. What the...
