I want to elaborate on this point as I thought about this quite a bit over the last few days.  There's been a bit of discussion here about how boring the Irvine Pacific floorplans are, which I totally agree with...nothing special about them.  But after visiting a few floor plans that are unique...

I went back to visit Como and Terra again to get a better feel of the homes minus the craziness of grand opening day.  I also drove around OH and some of the other Irvine communities and here are some random thoughts. Cliff note version: After spending about 10 hours looking at communities and...

Anyone do the lot visits today?  Thoughts?

For some, it comes down mainly to price/income.  But I know several people with a budget of $2M who were looking forward to this community but were disappointed in price per sq ft and overall design / what you get for the cost.  Will OH3 still be appealing to some?  Without a doubt.  Will it...

Assuming you're on target.  Even if you're a good shot, there's a good chance a round or two will miss a moving target if it's the middle of the night, and you're firing rounds seconds after you were awakened from deep sleep.  

I had some sticker shock too.  I've been waiting for OH3 for some time, but after seeing the details, I started looking at resale homes older communities like NW Point, and considering some of the newer ones OH1 and Altair.  Tustin Legacy is also starting to look more appealing :).  So many...

Where within the Great Park is the amphitheater located? @Liar Loan - 6 hours with alcohol and you didn't have to use the restroom.  You must be a wizard lol.

You might be on to something.  Screw the gated community.  Use a fraction of the money on a crazy Chinese nanny/housekeeper/security guard.

Haven't tried Saigon Pearl.  Will need to add that to the list.  My latest thing at DJ is the jalepeno spam masubi at the Kona coffee place.  I could see myself giving up quite a bit if someone offered me 200 masubis  ;)

I think you read it wrong.  Green card only costs $1000.  200 egg rolls will buy you citizenship.  Must be better than the Lee's Sandwiches eggrolls I'm used to eating.

I did a search and came across this.  Although not related to birth tourism, I almost spit out my coffee.  Props for out of the box thinking by the immigrant. Immigration Officer Indicted For Citizenship and Green Card Fraud (Santa Ana, CA) A Federal grand jury in the Central District of...

Very good points.  I've done my fair share of driving through OH to look around.  Same thing will hold true for OH3 as the land above the Reserve probably won't be built out for 4+ years.  That would suck if I live in OH for 5 years and have no guard the entire time.

I think this might be true for the professional burglars.  But for these guys, if they want to get into your home, nothing is going to stop them short of you sitting there with a shotgun.  I have friends' businesses who have been hit and these guys are VERY sophisticated.  But I do think gates...

An article about needed additional security posted on a security company's website.  Biased?  Maybe, maybe not. But I definitely agree there are people who fall into a false sense security.  I'll still have my cameras, motion sensor lights, alarm and alarm signs, and some other stuff :)

I believe Turtle Ridge, Trailwood, Northpark, and Laguna Altara are also guard gated at all entrances.  Whereas Altair, Lambert Ranch, and Turtle Rock Summit have a mix of guard gated and non-guard gated entrances. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Looking for guard gated.  The Trailwood community in NW Point is guard gated.  Was there last weekend and they were pretty strict (took down last digits of my VIN since I didn't have plates), unlike some of communities in Tustin I've been to recently. Fair point on TUSD.  We are actually okay...

Haha, this made me chuckle a little bit. ;D  A friend does advanced analytics for a living.  Maybe I'll have him run some numbers.

My friend is seriously considering Padova and wants me to take a look as well.  We're looking for guard-gated community so we're comparing the Groves with Altair, Northwood Point, OH, Northpark, etc.  We're excluding communities like Turtle Ridge, Hidden Canyon, Laguna Altara, etc. for...

Anyone been by lately?  How is it progressing?

How about non-public info? :)  Anyone know which builders?
