    VRBO / AIRBNB - starting to show up in Irvine

    I can't find the Irvine civil code or ordinance that bans AirBNB or VRBO.  Does anyone know?

    How low can we go? 30 yr fixed at 3.75% with no fees...

    What if you exercise the option to float down to the lower rate? Otherwise, just not do the rate lock, and buy points instead, assuming the rates don't rise too dramatically.

    I will be sure to look for them mutated ants and insects at Beacon Park.

    Impact of china meltdown

    From a capitalist standpoint, CVS and other pharmacies would rather use robots to do the job of the pharmacist, but from a political standpoint, I don't see that happening. The lobbyists are pretty strong for the pharmacists.  But I must say that drug interaction app is pretty cool - my...

    Impact of china meltdown

    You can work hard all you want, but when your manufacturing or engineering job is moving to China, India, or Mexico, are you going to go there too?  You're already seeing the layoffs at Western Digital, Broadcom, and Allergen isn't too far behind.  It's a genius plan - move the jobs to a...

    Impact of china meltdown

    Good point. If the home grown talent ain't up to par, go out and sign some star free agents to boost the talent of the team.

    Impact of china meltdown

    It's ironic that foreigners can do this to us.  First, they take our jobs, second they take our houses, I wonder what's next (or really, what's left to take).

    Who's buying?

    "the cops dont have anything to do with making irvine safe" - If this is true, then we should just get rid of the police department entirely, because it appears that potential burglars from outside of Irvine are deterred by the very sight of a rich person.  That makes perfect sense - it is the...

    Ellwood by Richmond American at Beacon Park

    To each their own.  I'm not a fan of having to lug all the BBQ food, soda, etc., up 2 flights of stairs to the roof.  Although it rains like 8 times a year in Irvine, I wonder how well the roof flooring holds up with the water and drainage. The last thing I want to see is puddles of water on the...

    Who's buying?

    Yes but you still need the police department to deter the "riff-raff" from coming into Irvine and burglarizing these high income homes. Otherwise, it'll be a field day for the "riff-raff," no?

    Great, they can buy all the Beacon Park properties and essentially fund the building of Great Park - thank you China for paying for our park.

    Who's buying?

    I think he was trying to answer the question of what do people do to afford Irvine houses? And his answer was, I was born rich.  At least he's honest.  I have yet to meet a person in Irvine who actually saved up, all by himself without any help from family, the full 20% downpayment money for a...

    Who's buying?

    I would thank the cops and firefighters for making Irvine one of the safest cities in America, thus keeping the land values high. They should get their fair cut for keeping our property values in-tack.

    Who's buying?

    And the highest paid public employee in California is the head football coach at UCLA, making about $3.5M. The UCLA basketball coach is not far behind at $2.75M.  I'm sure it's money well spent.

    Foreign cash buyers do contribute to the local California economy in the form of property taxes based on inflated house values (house values inflated in part by their interest in California real estate), Mello, HOAs, etc., and the sales tax on the expensive stuff they buy.  If you do the Trump...
