I was reading the news and saw that the state, for budgetary reasons, ruled on the right to dissolve redevopment agencies.  I don't know what a redevelopment agency is, but am assuming they are state funded (duh)... Apparently, the Great Park was supposed to utilize funding and resources from...

heard there was a fatality tonight at bryan and culver.  really sucks to have something like that happen day before xmas eve...  havent seen anything on news yet...  i cant recall if this is the same intersection where a nw high student was killed by a drunk driver last year.  tragic.

too bad no bets were made...  the perma-bears lose this round...

I've always thought it was weird when people say how much they make...  even when nobody asked.  It's also awkward when people ask how much I make, I just answer "never enough"  and change the subject.  In my past experience, those who readily volunteer such information (if doing well) have...

yeah... 6speed, rennlist, renntech...  the usual...   

they are going to come back and do some additional work consistent with what eqly said.  they really are nice people, i agree.  i did get a chip in my bathroom (my fault) and did see the former color underneath.  the former paint was eggshell, so i would have thought it would have to be...

That makes sense.  People like that fall into the douchebag category.  I frequent some auto boards and people like that who flaunt the $100K car that "mommy and daddy" bought are easy and frequent targets of ridicule...  and they don't stick around very long...

People seem to be really opinionated with regards to parental help.  Including another thread which infers that I'm a free-loader after my mom's pocket book.  Which is funny because my mom never has money (children give her money).  Most of my family is close, and we all help each other.  My...

Just flew through the ATL...  you do have one of the WORST airports in terms of traffic! SNA = parking is bad due to construction... but we have Javi's coming soon!  Cheaper version of Javier's and without the cougars (Crystal location)...

Yeah, you don't know me and you don't know or understand any context in which I live.  The property being sold is a result of what took me 2 years to accomplish.  To convince my mom to dump a higher risk property (single tenant).  There were good cash proceeds from that sale, which could have...

why would this irk you?  im tired of the landlord game... 

what happened to this discussiom?  i felt like i was watching cinci vs. xavier... why are we here arguing over 1995 this and 1995 that?  it was in the past...  ive been in irvine since 92 but didnt buy till 2001 oh well... regardless, i hope all understand that historical pricing for...

lawyered!  (himym)

personally, I like polywood shutters.  i have them throughout on the current home and they are wonderful.  My blinds are 11 years old and they are as white as the first day they were installed.  cleaning is easy - wipe with a wet sponge.  they are not cheap, but given their condition 11 years...

i decided to use Orlando to paint the interior of my current home.  I needed all rooms w exception of 1 BR, and all interior doors.  First, Orlando's pricing is fairly competitive because he's somewhere between "professional" painter and a guy who paints.  That being said, he does a fine...

based on what he's said, quick math says he owe somewhere in the $300-330K range on the mortgage.  So what is the place worth today?  It's a leveraged investment at this point.  For me, I would get into a leveraged investment only if I thought there was a good probability to receiving a nice...

Where I work, we use such measures as relative barometers.  Not something you want to make decisions on, or use as a citation for a very specific argument.  Median income in Irvine vs. median income in surrounding areas can tell you things.  Median local income vs. county/state/national tells...

Several friends of mine from college are from Lake Forest, and they all went to El Toro.  Their parents still reside there.  They all feel that the education in Lake Forest/ El Toro was good and had no complaints.  It's like anywhere, you have the good, bad and the ugly.  They've all done...

thanks to those who helped provide some input.  We've adjusted the contract and seller has agreed in terms.  But just like the Lakers' Chris Paul deal, there is nothing set in stone.  Buyer to do a walk-through inspection of units on Monday.  Word of advice - don't mess with old grumpy Asian...
