    Have you Heard About this? Plans to build 4,400 bed Jail next to the Great Park Development in Irvine

    Common, nobody gets sent to jail for just speeding, it is drunk driving and resisting arrest what gets people in that kind of predicament... If you were joking, sorry, I have absolutely no sense of humor :) Westpark Renter-thanks for the awesome site, I wonder why it is not that well known...

    Have you Heard About this? Plans to build 4,400 bed Jail next to the Great Park Development in Irvine

    I guess no vas is right, if I could only afford to buy a house near a jail, I'd probably still do that... If you have other options, steer clear of these places. I'd also assume that besides celebrities, there is a bunch of scum in the jail and another bunch of scum comes to visit them quite...

    Is $250 Per Sq. Ft. a Fair Price for a SFR in Irvine?

    NoThereThere: thanks a lot for the info you posted. It does seem strange that the seller would sacrifice their downpayment or even more if the property sells for 800K to that cash buyer, the bank eats up 37K, which is nothing on this market, and sellers lose what remains of their downpayment...

    I recently got this e-mail forwarded to me by one of my friends, and I felt it is worth posting here, since it does have some helpful tips in my opinion. Unfortunately, I don't know who the original author is, so I can't give him/her credit for this. That'd be interesting to know what...

    Is $250 Per Sq. Ft. a Fair Price for a SFR in Irvine?

    that's good to know... as I said, I wouldn't pay more than 250 per sq. ft. for this 2400 sq. ft. house, which means my top price would be 600K.

    Is $250 Per Sq. Ft. a Fair Price for a SFR in Irvine?

    Dig this folks: I went to see this property in Oak Creek, here is the linky:http://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/Undisclosed-address-92618/home/12465078 The seller's agent told me that it is a short sale and there is already a <strong>800K cash offer </strong>on this property in addition to 6...

    Is $250 Per Sq. Ft. a Fair Price for a SFR in Irvine?

    Going back to the original topic: I think Irvine Renter's estimates of price per sq. ft. for resale SFRs in Irvine ranging roughly from $225 to $300 is right on the money. Should we also take into account the JP Morgan Chase projection of 44-50% off the peak price? This seems to be even more...

    Has anyone noticed how noisy it is at the Village Spectrum

    I think they spent too much money on those free breakfasts and dinners, now they want you to pay for food, well, it was good while it lasted :)

    Have you Heard About this? Plans to build 4,400 bed Jail next to the Great Park Development in Irvine

    c'mon, No Vaseline, I know you would eat nonorganic produce :) but living next to a functioning jail? Besides that being depressing, if they only give those inmates a hundred bucks, wouldn't they want to break into the nearby houses, cars to steal something? You have too much faith in humanity...

    Presidential Debate #1

    I was going to vote for McCain originally because I'm leaning towards the right in terms of my values, but ever since he picked Palin, he lost my vote. I don't like Obama either, so I'm kind of battling whether I should vote at all. Maybe one of those libertarians, Barr?

    Headlines...

    That's interesting, I really didn't know that FDIC insurance did not exist during the Great Depression. Still, if the runs on the banks continue at this rate, Fed. Res. will run out of money soon. They have 2 options: print more money or increase our taxes. I don't like either of these...
