    City Election 2014

    Choi's new slogan: "Vote for me! I don't suck as much as Agran!"

    City Election 2014

    And there's a ballot measure to restrict terms to lifetime terms, not consecutive. So of course Agran opposes this measure. Agran was mayor when I was an undergraduate at UCI, over 20 years ago! This guy wouldn't know what to do if he wasn't mayor/council. I'm not a particular fan of Choi, but...

    Irvine city council elections and your home value/quality of life.

    Just got my Irvine Community News and Views for the week. One big Agran ad. Good thing the publisher and editor is recommending we vote for the Agran team, otherwise he'd be out of a job. I especially like the ad, err, I mean article on page 6, showing a photo of the Agran team and their dozens...

    What you think of these Great room design?

    To each his own. Some people like Great Rooms, others prefer separate living areas. For me, a formal dining room and formal living room are useless. For our home, we have a morning room, kitchen, family room area in an L-shape. We opted to make our formal dining room (towards front of home) into...

    Irvine city council elections and your home value/quality of life.

    Agran opposes term limits? Yet another reason to vote against him. Damn, the more I find out about him, the more I dislike him. Unfortunately, except for my dislike of Agran, I don't have a pro-reason to vote for Choi. When I was an undergraduate at UCI over 20 years ago, Agran was Irvine mayor...

    HOA Board of Directors salary?

    I'm on my community HOA board and have not received compensation of any kind, not even food at meetings. I give up a couple hours every other month for the meeting, and incidental time weekly dealing with minor issues. I knew what I was getting into, and it's OK that I don't get compensation...

    True, but they're only doing a couple homes there, not a full neighborhood with models, etc.

    Irvine city council elections and your home value/quality of life.

    Irvine Community News and Views is an Agran-supported publication. There's nothing independent or objective about it. I pointed this out on their FB page (without saying anything negative about Agran) and my comment was deleted and I was blocked from posting anything further on their site. With...

    This'll probably be TNHC's highest-end development yet. If Trevi starts in the upper $2 million range, I suspect this'll start in the $4 million range. Really looking forward to seeing these, pretty sure I won't be able to afford. :(

    Irvine city council elections and your home value/quality of life.

    I agree that for local races political parties make much less difference. That said, other things equal, I prefer people who have a general outlook that agrees with my political leanings.

    Irvine city council elections and your home value/quality of life.

    I'm a liberal. In the past 20 or so years, I don't recall ever voting for a Republican (when I first registered to vote, I registered as a Republican and initially would vote Republican, but my views changed as the years went by). However, I'm so turned off by the Larry Agran campaign that I'm...

    Irvine city council elections and your home value/quality of life.

    I have no idea who I'm going to vote for with all the mudslinging. Agran's campaign has pissed me off however. On the Irvine Community News and Views  Facebook page, in response to a negative Choi story, I mentioned how people should be aware that Irvine Community News and Views is not neutral...

    "Irvine Community News and Views" Publication

    So, Irvine Community News and Views, which recently started appearing as a print newspaper in my mailbox, is a Larry Agran-backed publication/political ad. There is nothing, NOTHING, objective in this publication. A few days ago, I replied in a comment on their Facebook page this fact. I didn't...

    FCB's take over Arcadia

    Perfect example of a post in the wrong forum. The original post has nothing to do with Irvine, yet it's posted in Irvine Real Estate. So many wrongly placed posts in these forums.

    City Election 2014

    Who to vote for? The Choi block or the Agran block? They're flinging the mud so much I have no idea who to vote for. Being a liberal, I'd prefer the "liberal" Agran. But from what I understand, he's quite pro-developer, and has only recently started to back slower-growth policies with a...

    Great Park Neighborhoods

    Here's an article in the OC Register today with the latest plan. Personally, very disappointed with what the Great Park has become. It had the potential to be one of the greatest municipal parks in the US, but now it doesn't seem so much. The golf course is wasted space for most people...

    Does anyone else get the OC Register delivered?

    Let us know if you swing a special deal, irvinehomeowner. I opted out to receive a replacement from Sunday, since I mainly rely on PDF anyways. Here's what the LA Times ran a couple days ago on the SNAFU. It seems the OC Register owes the LAT money, but the OCR is blaming the LAT for breaking...

    Does anyone else get the OC Register delivered?

    The Register was using the LA Times to deliver their papers, until last week or so. I guess they figured they could do it cheaper themselves. Yup, it's much cheaper if you don't deliver the papers at all. Aquabliss, how'd you get a free year? I guess you get what you pay for. I'm paying $2.99...

    Does anyone else get the OC Register delivered?

    So, did any subscribers get their paper delivered yesterday (Sunday)? I didn't.
