    Retail Openings and Closures

    Good Good, I wish they can complete soon. Some things are much easier to buy with them being close. On the other hand, any saw the zoo of a waiting line of Wanderlust? The line went all the way from the front of the plaza all the way to the Japanese fusion sushi place.

    Many millennials can't find housing at the traditional house buying age.

No, they will both compete in the entry housing market People in their 40s are now competing for...

    Masks?

    I'd still mask up in crowded area or sick. I did that when taking air planes and at conventions for years even before covid, COVID doesn't change that. Regarding to covering your mouth when sneezing or coughing. Just freaking do it as a common courtesy. No one need to have your spit on their...

    COVID-19 Retail Openings and Closures

    yeh, we went to their soft open. I like them better than Coco Ichibanya, less of an after taste. but that store is tiny, and doesn't capitalize the seating outside. A bit too much rice vs sauce imho.

    Eh.. I won't disclose this in detail, but let's just say ones that moved out of state through the proper channel should not be affected by that announcement. It's those that didn't are scrambling. Those layoff talents will be fine, most have severance package that last way longer than us...

    Work in office or remote?

    I wouldn't say it's entitlement, it's already a ever so slowly shifting trend, Known families that have parent(s) working from home or in some hybrid form for at least a decade, and it was ever more slowly increasing in number. COVID simply accelerated it. Just FYI, even with the massive offs...

    I would have been completely screwed out of the housing market and paying rents + storage unit rental as high as my current mortgage if listened to the "do not buy, price going to drop" crowd back in 2019, 2020

    Irvine Spectrum Adds First OC Shake Shack

    never tried it, thought people compares it with in&out and Fiveguys continuously. No opening date, so they probably just signed the lease. Going to take another year before it opens then.

    Retail Openings and Closures

    I might just stick with the Southern relatively new H-Mart. The one at Northpark , while also nice, has small parking spaces. People shopping at supermarket already desn't have the best parking etiquette, I rather not deal with it on top of smaller spots.

    Solar Panel Batteries & Additional Panel Installation

    given how unstable our utilities has become in the last few years, I would oversize it just to be able to go off grid when shit hits the fan on our infrastructure. Assuming I can afford all the additional cost that comes with oversizing system + battery.
