    I am wondering if they are still open during the pandemic? I called them today and they are closed today for the holiday. And usually how long to get a permit approved? Is the city hall contractor friendly in general? Thanks!

    Mello-Roos & the Great Park

    Is the MR tax really permanent on homes in Altair? According to my calculation, the annual tax rate (MR and HOA included) for those 5000+ sqft homes is 2.5%. That's going to a big financial burden.

    Where do Zillow and Redfin get the sold property data?

    Thanks, USCTC. Do you know if the data is only accessible to real estate brokers, or if it is accessible to anyone with a valid reason? I am considering building a website or app similar to Zillow, and wondering if I can get access to the data from local MLS. Thanks for any thought.

    Just heard that 90% of land in Irvine is owned by the Irvine Company, and therefore SFH owners do not own their lands. Is this true? If so, what is the implication and really impact on the value? Thanks.

    TUSD at Orchard Hills

    That might be math, physics or chemistry professors. But I think business school professors are different.
