So a logistical question, no plastic straws so how are they giving us our soda through the drive through? No cover? So my drink spills all over my precious leather interior? Am I going to have to bring my own sippy cup to the drive through?

not sure that thing will fly with most HOAs in Irvine - lol!

I think if no one can afford to attend these colleges the prices will drop real quick. They keep jacking up the prices because they are getting free money from the government. How the student pays it back to the government is not their problem right now. But as soon as the government stops...

  omg hilarious!  ;D Someone said housing in Irvine is expensive but isn't SD expensive too for much older homes. At least our expensive homes are somewhat newer, less repairs... I've looked at homes outside of Irvine because you can get so much more house (and yard) in other places but I keep...

You're joking right? lol I think he went to USC dental school because he had limited options and didn't get into a cheaper school in California. he may have gotten in out of state but chosen not to go. Oh I'm completely pissed at this guy. Completely irresponsible living beyond his means while...

OMG just what we?ve been talking about showed up on my FB feed today. Had to share. When is this madness going to end? Don?t we see some kind of student loan crisis ?crash? coming our way soon here? https://www.facebook.com/daveramsey/videos/10155598610975886/

Oh I don?t doubt that. But there is also a shortage of people skilled in STEM locally. So higher skill set, non-entitled attitude, hard workers, lower pay = no brainer. Wouldn?t you higher outside the US too if you were the CEO?

I agree. A big part of the blame should also be predatory lending. It is what led to the housing crash with all the subprime lending. We need to stop backing all these inappropriate private student loans. If the kids simply can?t get the $$ then colleges cant so easily jack up their prices. And...

THIS is everything. It is the solution. And we need to stop handing out hundreds of thousands of dollars to people like it's candy. If I make $40,000 a year, a credit card company would be insane to give me an unlimited credit line so I can rack up $400k or $500k in debt. But that's what these...

Some really great points on this thread. When I was younger I definitely bought high end items to impress others, gain respect. Obviously I was insecure and I was "spending like a doctor" on a beer budget while going into debt. You know what they say, Big Hat, No Cattle. Champagne Taste, Beer...

You just described more than half of my street of neighbors! And That aulani is drowning in profits! Glad to know that we?re not alone wondering how all these people live this million dollar lifestyle.

To the OP, I know what you mean. Once you've lived in Irvine for a couple of years, when you look "elsewhere" for housing options it doesn't look very appealing. Besides all the other fancy cities that are just as or more expensive than Irvine (aka Newport Coast) most of these cities with...

I believe that number was 75% but this was when we first moved into the groves back in 2014. I don't know if that number still stands or they changed it. Haven't been able to make it to a board meeting - anyone that has attended, did they give a specific guideline as to when the gate will be manned?

It won?t affect my driving at all. I don?t go anywhere near there during school drop off and pick up. But since the number of students are unchanged (they are moving 8 5th grade classes to hicks) and now more students attending are walkable distance to their homes, I predict less traffic. I know...

They just approved K-8 expansion at OH school! This email just came through: Dear Orchard Hills Area Residents and Stakeholders, Last evening, the TUSD Board of Education voted unanimously to expand Orchard Hills School to a K-8 environment beginning in the 2018-19 school year.  This is a...

We used to live in Northpark when my kids were toddlers and it was a great neighborhood. We loved it there. A lot of young kids, the HOA organizes a lot of family friendly events throughout the year and the homes (although somewhat outdated without the fully open floor plans) were beautiful and...

My EX-Accountant Jpak went to jail on filing fraudulent taxes.  ::) Good thing I only used that guy for 1 year. Be careful who you choose! https://www.ocregister.com/2015/12/09/garden-grove-men-charged-with-grand-theft-in-filing-of-false-tax-returns/

Nice. Thanks for the update Goriot and the link. I will be attending the Thur morning meeting but definitely will fill this form out. Although we love Hicks, OH school is so much closer and more convenient.

Sure the speed factor on the roadster is pretty impressive but how do you think it handles? Like on a track similar to Nurburgring? Would be interesting to see it on a track like that competing against say the Porsche 918 or P1. I still can?t get over a ?silent? racecar. I love hearing an engine...

Omg it?s been 3 years and we?re still bringing this up?  ;D But yes I am thankful for the NP guard gate that day. Because that crazy idiot followed right behind me into the guard gated community, I think the gate arm hit his suv while he was following right behind but he didn?t care. So I just...
