    Occupy Irvine?

    Why would city hall of Irvine grant these protestors overnight permits.  They have all the right to protest but not on the public dime.  These city councils need to think of the entire community (these protests do not add value to the community) and not jsut give in to political pressure. ...

    Extended Warranty

    Thanks for the input.  My main reason for getting it, is many items are specific for the space and I don't want to have to find replacements.  Without service plans you get ripped off with repair costs. Right now the kitchen aid people want about $500 for a microwave oven/oven combo, send oven...

    Extended Warranty

    Now that I've been in my Sonoma home for almost 1 year I am getting letters about extended service plans.  Has anyone bought the plans with Kitchen Aid or is there another company to use?  Thanks.

    PA 40 Neighborhood

    The bridge will be an extension of the Jeffery Open trail space.  So the bridge won't be directly connected to woodbury since the trabuco/jeffery corner is a some type of water collection area.

    Possible Irvine 3-Car Garage Homes

    Based on the current home plans (we know they haven't developed anything new recently) I'll bet that the best they can do is a 2.5 tandem.  That would will work for me as the important part is storage while allowing for two cars to park in the garage.

    Sonoma revisited

    Sonoma is part of the master association run by PCM.  No sub-association. I saw that home on zillow too.  I walked down to see it.  Very baseline landscaping.  It looks like the house hits its one year mark on may 20th.  Of course you can sell/rent before the one year for financial reasons. As...

    Sonoma revisited

    I'm sure the selling agents for sonoma would be quick to point out the obvious difference in the SFR of sonoma and the detached residences of Monticeto.  Though that might not stop buyers who look at Zillow from comparing the prices. Lots of people park their cars on the street which makes the...

    San Marino Pricing and Models

    The "demand" comment was metaphorical not literal (as it appears you took it). As a person form NY and NYC as well as Michigan, i can tell you first hand the problems that occur from overcrowding, i.e. building lots of homes on smaller lots.  the term suburan sprawl comes to mind.  If TIC...

    San Marino Pricing and Models

    I never said "demand."  You "asked" for a "detached" product which to TIC means Moniceto like homes.  TIC build what there market research tells them will sell.  They do lots of polling to see what the customer wants. So while they might still build what they want (many homes on small lots to...

    San Marino Pricing and Models

    Please don't say your advocating for more motor court homes.  A smaller SFR seems appropriate as long as any non-irvine person can easilly identify it as a single family home: i.e.  driveway, no zero-lot lines, a good 15+ feet between you propertly next to you, at least 4000 sq feet lot (still...

    issues with using a outside lender for a new home purchase?

    I too went with the BofA lender for my new home.  I was going to use an outside brooker but he couldn't match (or didn't want to give up any of his profits).  I got a great rate with BofA.  If you have good credit then the builders lender should be able to give you a good rate.

    San Marino Pricing and Models

    My sister-in-law cheked out the models on Sunday.  The pricing sheet only in include plan 2 and 3 homes.  i wonder if that means Plan 1 was sold out in the first phase (or maybe it was just on another sheet).  If I remember correctly there were 4 plan 2 and 4 plan 3's left.
