why parasol and beacon separate?  Do you really think one community will appreciate differently than another? 

i don't see you saying anything nice about PP with the exception of resale value.  No matter where you are, you will want to feel comfortable, and if your minds can't settle on PP with the exception of resale, I'd go Baker Ranch. I'm also kind of confused that Baker Ranch is that expensive -...

I thought Yellow Fever hated GP? Anyways its too volatile right now to get a good idea of the user base - come back in 1 year and see where it is.  That said, every time I visit  Beacon Park (usually on weekends), its busy busy busy, so it likely will bode well for Parasol Park.  The culture...

because they don't have ~700 acres available to work with at university town center?  honestly if the only thing that is lost is the man made canyon...then fine by me, no big deal. totally spot on w/regards to a massive sports park with zero amenities.    Just make sure to have a massive...

"may also most likely have..." is then followed up with multiple definitive statements.  Anyways, don't think too much about this, I freely support your freedom to say whatever you want, even if you want to negatively stereotype a group you choose to at least partially affiliate with.  Just...

How is this recognizing a problem?  "All of the Chinese FCB are running drug operations, prostitute rings, and are at risk for deportation."  This is why you are one of the best trolls out there - you constantly fall back on "i just recognize a problem" or "these are just facts", but these...

No, supacpeon is on the money, A+++ troll  - anywhere else it would be extreme racism.

is that installed!?!?!?  I'm really most curious about install/labor costs.

Yeah but i need to be careful because I don't want to damage/mess up the wet areas in case its done wrong and you get water damage because of a poor job (or so I'm assuming - isn't that why everyone says if you can upgrade the bathrooms with the builder, do it?) edit:now that I think about it...

was at the design studio for a rowland property - i had gone in with the mentality of "listen to talkirvine - they had a thread that suggested, if anything, upgrade wet areas and upgrade the countertop".  Well I forgot that the counter top are fixed (i.e. can't upgrade it).  So the plan was to...

LOL if I didn't know your style is to troll on every post you make, this would have come off as strangely prejudicial. 

let us be honest - great park itself is a burden alone regardless of 108 acres from the City.  Even today its a PITA on the 5 and 405, just ask anyone that lives in south county and has to commute up. To specifically address the issues in that part of OC, short of: - doubling size of the 73...

so who gets all the extra money once the builder hits the limit of 6% profit?  Or is it assumed that its always the land value that increases, and the builder just effectively pays more for the land to Irvine?

if great park can actually realize even the 600 acre vision, it will be amazing.  I actually wouldn't mind elimination of the golf course, because i can't see it really bringing a lot more value.  These types of venues/facilities, or even greenspace/urban forests will likely provide more value.

pay attention to the source and direction.  Beacon Park is actually north of the concentration of the Plume, and its moving in a Western Direction.  State regulations require remediation, but it is remediation to a particular level.  The plume has created a huge superfund site because it...

do we even really know our neighbors anyways?  All I really care is that I don't have drug lords or the mafia living next door.  People with loud kids?  People who throw parties?  People who have odd or interesting habits?  People who cook stinky food and leave the window open (okay this might...

Sold for 1.8 million, just a few thousand short of asking!  Looks like the seller got a 60% return!

getting a loan from the builder, but someone here said that we should ping them to see if they can beat it - who is that person? does any of this make sense?

i hope it passes - there is no such thing as a venue having smooth traffic.  When 10K people want to leave the exact same location, there is no smooth way to manage it that incurs zero hassle - the best you can do is try to minimize the impact, as opposed to mitigate it.  If you want pure...

at willow (KB homes), all appliances were standard.  Rowland (lennar) also includes all as standard.  Never thought about checking others because I didn't take the others seriously enough. I get there are two ways to look at it - if you are spending 750K on a home, you can spend 3K for a...
