    They agent changed it to "famed."  The original wording was so much better.

    Where's the pork?

    Where was your place?  Right now, people are kinda bipolar on healthiness.  Bacon-wrapped/deep fried everything vs. GF/Organic everything. I'm in the unhealthy camp-- tastes better AND costs less.  Win/win.

    Where's the pork?

    Wait.  People actually eat at China Palace?  I thought it was some kind of museum.  #forwhitiesonly

    Orchard Hills - Capella by Taylor Morrison

    Lots 30-32 have a glass wall.  I dont know about the rest. Those lots look bigger too-- I'd guess at least 6k, but that's just a guess. So, speculating, but it looks like for the same price, you'd get the view, the lot size, and no motorcourt.

    Orchard Hills - Capella by Taylor Morrison

    +1 This may be why I'm so leary of the concept. I've served on HOA boards and have seen just how crazy, selfish and inconsiderate people can be. I've seen bad neighbors impact the whole block. So a bad apple in motorcourt would be disasterous.

    Orchard Hills - Capella by Taylor Morrison

    I dont have that kind of faith in any HOA security (or even IPD) to control FCBs. I'm just imagining how that call would go: "HELP! There's bunch of FCBs talking loudly, smoking and spitting in the motorcourt!" "OK, we'll send out an FCB dispersal unit out right away." It probably wont be that...

    If the poll teaches us anything it is that a choice with the word "sucks," will receive the most TI votes. Since Capella is/was the fastest selling product in OH, the "Capella sucks" contingent does not seem reflective of actual buyers. Big yards are great in the abstract, but the sales...

    Orchard Hills - Capella by Taylor Morrison

    I'd take Capella even if the prices were equal, to avoid the motorcourts.  But LaVita future phases get right up against 261 and there are no views. If Brookfield drops prices to below Capella, it'll be interesting to watch what happens.

    Sales at The Groves in Orchard Hills slowing down?

    I guess so-- if everyone else is striking out.

    Sales at The Groves in Orchard Hills slowing down?

    I think that's the point.  It's a relative home run given market conditions.

    Orchard Hills - Capella by Taylor Morrison

    You're right about price convergence, but Capella is still a few hundred thousand less that La Vita. If you were willing to pay that for a bigger yard, you'd still have to deal with the whole motor court/communal living issue. Much of La Vita is closer to the toll roads than Capella. With...

    Sales at The Groves in Orchard Hills slowing down?

    You cant rely on MLS listings as an accurate gauge of who is doing poorly. Other builders have inventory but are just relying on their sales office instead of MLS. So, it might be that TM is quicker to MLS than the others.  Capella was among the best selling product in OH. But as sales in...

    What's your favorite Irvine restaurant?

    Suggestions in any/all genres would be great. We've hit just about everything in TMP several times, so we're not that discriminating.  By "high-end," I was thinking Ruth's Chris/Mortons/Mastros etc., but could be anything that doesnt have a kid's menu.  ;)

    Class 302 moving into Marketplace

    +1 Extremely poor execution.  They were out of boba.  How does that happen? Then we practically had to push people out of the way to exit -- through the same door that people were crowding to get in. Liked the drinks, but will not go back-- unless it's extreme off hours.
