Graph - I don't think whether or not a potential or current owner knows if they are leasing the land is at issue here. I'm confident, as are you, that such information is found in the deed or other related paperwork. I simply asked whether such conditions still existed. And, contrary to your...

graph posted this comment to a thread I just discovered on this issue from March of '07 (sorry I didn't find it sooner): "Urban legend. It may feel like renting because TIC has numerous controls of what you can and can?t do in the CC&Rs;. You would know if you were in a lease contract...

I've searched the forum for this topic, but didn't find anything - so I apologize up front if this is a duplicate question. Back when Irvine was first being built (TRock, UP), buyers were given the option of leasing the land under the house from the Irvine Co. or purchasing outright (with TIC...

The "mini cell tower" option is really the best in the TRock/Shady Canyon area. But, if someone doesn't want to go that route, my Sprint phone works just fine on most of the hill, except that spot right at the top of Ridgeline, as you head down the hill toward Univ. Dr. Probably being between...

Slightly off topic, but since it came up, does pricing with the 8's really work with the Asian folk? I guess I have a hard time believing that people are that gullible when you're talking about spending such large amounts of money. Just wondering...

My apologies for the lack of clarity in my last post, LoudRoar. The Village of Hope is not a permanent housing community, but is what is known as transitional housing. This type of shelter is intended as a bridge between emergency shelter (typically 3 months or less) and permanent housing. I...

Yes, many large metro areas have visible chronically homeless populations. However, being well versed in the current situation in Orange County, I can tell you that there are chronic homeless in every one of the 34 cities. Those that are not mentally ill tend to be far less noticeable, as they...

Wow. There's so much to respond to here, I don't know where to start. I guess I'll start with the fact that my day job is to work with local governments and non-profits to conduct research of homeless issues and develop public policy to address the issues raised by the data. As I write this I...

"And? one final note: I understand why you maximize land value, and stuff as many stucco boxes as you can on the land, but for the love of all things holy? there are SEVERAL people here who want to have a decent lot with some freakin privacy." Thanks for saying what so many of us have been...

I have also noticed quite a few WTF listings that appear to be moving quickly (at least showing as backup offiers accepted). I got really bummed out the other day when a property that IR profiled back in late March appeared as a completed sale in early June for $1.35 million. The irritating...

My guess is that it was an inter-family transfer of some sort. A former acquaintance lived with his mother in University Park for years. When she had to go on disability and couldn't afford the mortgage anymore, he bought the house from her for around $185,000. I think comps in the...

Whoops. Just realized that I mentioned the $1 mill as a closing price, not a listing price. I started to write out the part about the family member of the neighbor and got distracted so I confused a couple of points there. I was told she was going to sell without listing with an agent, but I...
