    Irvine no longer safest city

    at least according to the list linked in this article: http://missionviejolife.org/2013/02/13/mission-viejo-ranked-safest-city-in-california-again/ It has Mission Viejo as the safest in California, 6th in the US.  Irvine is only 10 while Johns Creek is 2.  I don't know what the criteria of the...

    Have you seen this Irvine Panhandler?

    It kind of looks like a woman I saw in the Home Depot parking lot on El Toro a year or two ago.  I felt bad because I didn't have any cash on me, but I don't even know if she was asking for money.  She kept following me and pointing to the plants I had bought and saying something I couldn't...

    [IHB] Aldeas of Oak Creek

    Why are you always so negative about Irvine?  It's supposed to be 80 on Thursday.  No need to be spending much time in the bedroom.

    Anesi Apartments

    If Irvine wants to become a big city, fine, but at least provide some of the benefits of living in big city like bars and night clubs.  Maybe a football team and some strip clubs.

    Irvine Housing Booming

    Maybe they meant Apartment Homes.  I thought Cypress Village was where they're putting the low income apartments, but it also says homes.

    Million dollar appreciation

    Are these people dreaming, or have housing prices in Turtle Ridge really gone up nearly a million dollars in the past ten years? http://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/57-Shady-Ln-92603/home/5892632#property-details http://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/32-Cezanne-92603/home/5900801...

    Why is Univ. HS so good?

    "But the surrounding area is quite old and crappy. " I disagree.  University Park is the best neighborhood in Irvine.  There's more to great living environment than a pretty exterior. University High probably scores better than the Irvine schools because it's been around longer and their...

    Having 4 bedrooms for one person seems like a waste.

    The sanity of owning a home for a single guy

    Me, personally, I would not like to live in an apartment or condo because I would hate living in such close proximity to my neighbors and having to share a wall with noisy neighbors.  I don't think buying a million dollar house in Orange County with no wife or kids makes much sense either.  If I...

    $888k for a $3950 rental?

    He only gets $625/mo per property?  That doesn't sound like much cushion if things start falling apart.

    School principal alters grades without teacher's consent

    Don't let the secret out.  Irvine schools aren't all they're cracked up to be especially if your kid is on the non-honor/AP track. http://www.ocregister.com/news/doan-375893-grades-students.html

    Toll Road mistake

    I accidentally took the northbound 73 toll road at Bonita Canyon.  It cost $1.50 to go one mile (I don't have fast track).  When did the price get so high?  I remember when it was 25 cents.  What a scam.

    How to avoid Foreclose from FengShui aspects

    Hmmm.  I always drive in reverse when I back out of the garage.  Maybe I should start backing my car into the garage instead so I can drive forward when I leave.
