City for sure has a say. It's public/city streets currently, you can't just make it private by a vote of homeowners. Although the few entrances to PP make it seem ideal for turning into gated community, it's a very tough hurdle, so tough that I'd pretty much rule it out. If you just want gates...

The Register wrote editorial on the proposed Great Park Library.

Mayor Choi wrote an opinion piece for The Register which appeared this past Sunday. This is one of the best things he can do for this city, and I wholeheartedly support it!

So true bones, so true. It's almost as if some homes had planned for a nice looking brick, for example, to match the rest of their home. But then when it came to paying for it, there was a special a hideous colored brick, and they decided to go for that instead to save a few bucks even though it...

I go back to my original assertion that you get what you pay for. You cannot tell me that a contractor without any landscape architect education is going to give you the same result as a licensed landscape architect. True, someone might be completely OK with what a contractor offers them. But an...

Also, why of the 7 pictures, 6 of them are exterior shots of the house and/or of the community? And the one of the interior kitchen seems to maybe be the model? At least that's what it looks like to me, not being familiar with that model.

Drawings are free? You get what you pay for. I used a landscape architect (Warwick from Studio H) for my new home, and wouldn't think about doing it any other way in the future. It's quite obvious which homes in our neighborhood used landscape architects and which just went with a contractor. I...

Floorplans are available for Oliva. I haven't looked at them in detail, but they've definitely got my interest. Plan 1D Plan 1XD Plan 2A Plan 2A - Alt Plan 2XC Plan 3C Plan 4 (Casita)

Certainly, that's $200 million that would be better spent than the $200+ million that's already been spent for crap at the Great Park. I'd much rather see $200 million spent on a library than just about anything else that cities spend large amounts of money on (stadiums come to mind).

They're probably not going to get that price. Even though the current Redfin listing indicates 20 days, the home was actually originally for sale for the same price starting on 4/19/2014 and was listed for 113 days before being taken off the market. They re-listed again on 1/13/15 at the exact...

If this happens, it'll be one of the best things at the Great Park. Sad to think that we could've had this with 1/2 the amount that's been wasted/stolen/lost at the Great Park so far. Councilwoman Christina Shea needs to STFU. Irvine won't continue being a great city without a municipal library...

Yes, this'll be quite an expensive election, despite the GOP's minimal chances of winning. Gavin Newsom opted out to run for governor after Brown leaves. I like both Harris and Newsom.

It's from the OC Register. It takes a bit more effort on my part to get the whole list in. Here it is:

The climb for 92602 continues.

I second this. I know that at my old home wet porcelain tile indoors was hugely slippery. Perhaps they have different types of tile that have different amounts of traction when wet.

I don't have porcelain tile outdoors. I would not go off of what models look like as they have cleaning crews out there daily (or nearly so). From what others have said, porcelain seems a bit of a maintenance issue. Unless you've spoken to homeowners who have porcelain outdoors and say it's easy...

Few things bore me more than the Rose Parade.

Called Santa Ana Winds because it comes down the San Bernardino Mountains and most prominently follows path of Santa Ana River through Santa Ana Canyon. I suppose they could call it the 91 Freeway Winds, but Santa Ana sounds better.

The clubhouse at Lambert Ranch also has a fee + refundable security deposit. I would think that's the norm.
