    The Landing Tustin Legacy (Brookfield Residential)

    I think the Tustin ranch schools and Tustin legacy schools are probably comparable to Irvine schools. But in perception they will probably never will be. It will be interesting to see how Tustin legacy magnet academy performs when it starts sending kids to colleges - I think this year is the...

    The Landing Tustin Legacy (Brookfield Residential)

    I have not don any math but based on some closed price per sq ft sales it seems like Tustin ranch/Legacy trade at 25-35% below Irvine prices? Do you have an example?

    Tacos Los Cholos - Anaheim

    I saw this place on Yelp about 1 month ago and it’s on my list of places to try out. How long was the wait for you?

    Olivewood at Portola Springs by New Home Co.

    You don’t want to be near the pickleball courts. Too much noise

    Based on how Desantis operates it is fair to assume the planes were full of white Floridians :)

    Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers

    I’m sure we all have stories like this but I remember looking at Laguna Altura back in 2012 and thinking it was overpriced. That was a bad decision not buying there. We bought in 2012 and we have had good appreciation but not like some of these Irvine tracts. That’s what I get for having...

    Housing Analysis

    Another approach would be to limit investors of homes to individuals only and not corporations (PE firms etc). That would be against my capitalist views but homes should be more affordable to the average American and they are not. Not sure what kind of impact this would have though but it may be...

    Housing Analysis

    The government is always talking about how people need to pay their fair share, I wish just this once the government would take their fair share of accountability and tell Americans how they f’d up housing for the foreseeable future for all homeowners. It’s too expensive for new homeowners and...

    How are IPO windfalls taxed for non-employee early-round investors?

    This would be a long term capital gain. So the sales price minus his cost basis would be the taxable income. This assumes it was a basic investment in actual shares vs investment in some sort of partnership which then invested in the company. If it was PE backed the initial investment may not...

    The New IHOmobile

    dealers will probably mark it up by $10k removing the value in the car. It’s not a bad looking car, it will probably sell very well given its practicality. @iho - looking forward to being the first TI’er to get a ride in the new car :-)

    iPhone 15 - All Island, No Lightning

    We upgraded to 14s last September (pro for me and pro max for my wife, plus for kids) and don’t see anything worth upgrading for with the 15. What annoyed me last year was that I got the kids phones in late September and then a month or so later they started giving them away for free with no...

    Retail Openings and Closures

    This has to be for a couple of peak hours throughout the day. There is no way the majority of the places do 50-70 drinks an hour consistently throughout the day. Maybe certain places like the place at the spectrum next to Regal cinemas, the Alley I think?

    The Landing Tustin Legacy (Brookfield Residential)

    Didn’t these start at around 1.3M or so in phase 1? If so, and they get anything close to this price that is a pretty good return. I didn’t think this location was all that great given its proximity to Barranca. I don’t know how many times I need to see this happen before I learn my lesson. I’m...

    ICE or EV?

    The government wants the automakers to run their business like the US government. Just spend and don’t worry about making money.
