Winterblues I'm sure it doesn't help but solidarity friend. We are in the same boat. We have been very happy with our attached condo "starter home" for now - but in a few years when we (hopefully) have little ones running around I think we will be desperate for a yard and a fourth bedroom and...

This is good information but is extremely outdated with lots of changes to what's listed on there. I wonder if anyone can find an updated version of this... This is the City's zoning map as currently posted on their website. If there is more recent information it's not online. It also says the...

Commercial implies some kind of business - retail/office/industrial/etc. But as already pointed out that area off Portola Parkway is already developed with the elementary school, runoff area/open space, and elderberry. I guess it's possible they replace the runoff/tree area behind the elementary...

It's zoned as medium density residential. Unfortunately I don't think any retail is planned in Portola Springs at all, only the retail in the Great Park which I think is still in the distant future. https://legacy.cityofirvine.org/civica/filebank/blobdload.asp?BlobID=13672

Spectrum Costco had toilet paper on Saturday morning at 9:30 AM.

The Venta Spur bridge over 133 is still listed in the City's capital improvement program. The document linked online from April 2020 says the project is in final design with an estimated completed construction date of June 2022. We'll see when it actually happens, but at least there has been...

I think it depends on the kind of cooking you do. Milk, eggs, bread, produce, yes. Haven't tried any meat or seafood - buy and freeze that in bulk. I assume they have a normal selection of spices/etc, but haven't checked. They might not have every single ingredient you need, especially if you're...

I agree. We were pretty disappointed with our experience attempting to shop in person, but we ordered from Amazon Fresh this past weekend and had a great experience. Prices were reasonable and the produce quality was good.

We went on Sunday morning and there was a huge line, but we had heard the line was only for the magical cart. We asked if we could just go in if we were shopping with the normal cart, but the employee at the door told us no, we had to wait. It's possible she didn't understand us, but we didn't...

Seems like a majority of Californians currently approve of the job he's doing. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/09/29/ca-newsom-gets-high-approval-rating-new-poll/3577305001/ "Results of a poll released by the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies show that 64% of likely...

I think another thing to consider and ask the HOA about is how they would allow you use your ADU for once it's built. I think guests, long term renters, or aging parents would all be ok, but short term rental would not be an option.

This is a great example - this home is $40k over what was our max budget (700k). The kitchen is in good shape (maybe needs one or two appliances) but ideally the bathrooms could use some updates, and I'm always in favor of replacing carpet. Plus, this home would be about a 40 minute drive to...

This was our budget and wish list as well. It was frustrating because $600k-$700k is not a small amount of money to spend on a home, but we were consistently unhappy with the quality/size of homes we saw in this price range (until we saw some new construction options). We looked at parts of...

Haha oh boy...it does not!

Thank you for this civility! I wish we had more of this from both sides.

I think under normal circumstances I would have an issue with a proxy vote situation. But, I think we can all agree a global pandemic is not a normal circumstance. Katie is a single mom to three children, and like many people right now childcare could be a major issue. I am ok with this as a...

We were told that CalPac is under TIC's umbrella when we bought our home (2019). So while they may have change ownership in the last six months, I believe they are an Irvine Company builder!

Ha! That made me laugh. It's true not only does she not seem to play golf she also seems to use proper grammar and spelling on her twitter...horrifying!

And look at that...Katie just posted that she's investigating a machine the FDA approved for sterilizing masks. https://twitter.com/RepKatiePorter/status/1265406546260955136 Definitely seems like a representative on the house oversight committee who is doing her job to me. What exactly was...

Katie Porter's twitter lists the following activities in the last few weeks: Yesterday she visited the Mission Viejo American Heroes Tribute and delivered care packages/food to veterans to celebrate memorial day. On May 19th she posted about the regularly updated website with resources to...
