    More buildable land in Irvine after the current villages are built out?

    ...and if they ever connect Portola (Irvine) to Portola (Foothill Ranch), then the quick jump to retail would be easy. Although there is absolutely no incentive for Irvine to support this.

    EV/Plug-in/Other vehicles

    The Chevy Volt is pretty good with almost 60 miles before even switching to the ICE. I?m sure a great deal can be found since they are on their last model year.

    Year round elementary schools

    Year round should be expanded, but can only happen if parents show an interest at the IUSD meetings. It is great for the continuity of learning. High school sports would be affected, but would adjust in time.

    Feedback on new site idea - villages/tracts in Irvine

    Agree. Floor plans would offer a great service to any future buyer.

    Remove Principal Leslie Roach from Northwood High School

    IUSD parents all had a chance to review the adopted curriculum at the District Office. This could have been avoided by not allowing the district to adopt the textbooks in support of this curriculum. NGSS is a mess in many districts no matter the program. Integration will be confusing, but those...

    Question Re: Timeline and final location for OC Veteran?s Cemetery

    Regarding this legislation the key ?No Vote Recorded? by Assembly Member Steven Choi (former Irvine mayor). Either way he should have gone on the record in voting for or against the bill. We don?t elect officials to avoid votes they are quite familiar with. ARDA isn?t my first choice in...

    Grocery Outlet

    I agree. I was hoping for one of the other suggestions too. It seemed perfect for a 360 or TJs because of the active lifestyle accessibility of the trails. I?ll sometimes suggest the location to Trader...https://www.traderjoes.com/contact-us/location-request

    Midterm Elections

    Then again many Californians voted for state legislators who have been raising taxes in a variety of ways. Perhaps it is time to remove the D or R from candidate names.

    Streaming Services

    We are pretty happy with only using Hulu live TV with DVR and commercial skipping. It seems to offer most everything we want; now if we can only find the right ISP.

    Baker Ranch in Lake Forest / Foothill Ranch

    ...still wondering where Baker Ranch Elementary will be. That?s what happens when developers pay the fees directly to the District. The money doesn?t have to be spent directly on the area that paid for it like MR.

    Beverly Hills students protest Metro line

    Instead of using ignorant college students to push an agenda they have now moved to use ignorant high school students. Students don?t care about a subway that will be completed years after they graduate, but they won?t mind a day away from school on the District?s, er public?s, dime.

    If you could change one thing in your home, what would it be?

    We have a single vanity in our master and would love for it to be a double. Adjacent to the sink, but separated is the shower and toilet, which we would like to replace the door with a pocket door. The challenge is relocating a light switch and gfi outlet. It?s on the future to do list.

    Good pizza in Irvine?

    CPK?s cauliflower crust is pretty good in my opinion.

    What happened to Northwood High School Science Program?

    It limits students to enroll in advanced science classes at a younger age. The plan is to help everyone take similar science classes, which will result in the watering down of the curriculum to meet the needs of the middle/average students.

    What happened to Northwood High School Science Program?

    All schools will experience a drastic change in their science education starting with this year?s freshmen. This is due to the Next Generation Science Standards where ninth grade is Biology of the Earth, tenth is Chemistry, eleventh is Physics, with flexibility for advanced courses as a senior.

    Where to buy? Top of the World or Turtle Rock/Ridge?

    The ?greatness? of Irvine schools would be a result of 95% of the families enlisting the support of after school tutors as the preferred form of daycare. Sadly, kids don?t get to run around and play anymore.

    Iusd vs Pegasus vs Harbor Day for first grade

    This won?t be popular, but all parents should be encouraged to participate in their child?s education. Teaching should be a partnership with the parents in educating their child. Why else would a parent choose to be a parent if they simply wished to not be involved. Vista Verde should be...

    Retail Openings and Closures

    Agree with the Crossroads concerns. It?s definitely congested and it is not pedestrian friendly when grabbing food from any place in the center.

    I-5 freeway between Tustin and Irvine is slated for widening

    Great Oregon Trail reference, sadly kids don?t even get this experience anymore.

    Mass Transit

    Sort of off topic, but in the interest of traffic how about adding more right hand turn lanes to get those cars through instead of scraping the curbs alongside the bike lane. Another different suggestion would be to use tunneling technology to remove pedestrians from all major intersections...
