    New communities in Portola Springs

    Thanks. I'm planning on putting 50% down for my South County purchase in the next year. Interestingly I received the first "price reduction" email from Redfin in a long time on some Mission Viejo listings, a good sign.

    Presidential Elections

    Presidential is telling NATO they're on their own unless they pony up and then getting them to pony up - as is being married to Marla Maples and Melania. Definitely the most alpha POTUS since G Dub.

    How high will mortgage rates climb in the next 36 months?

    We were in ZIRP for 15 years. It's a new world. And tick tock the 10 year is up. Let's home a bid emerges for MBS and the restart of the securitization machine else spreads will stay high and go even higher.

    How high will mortgage rates climb in the next 36 months?

    Anyone seeing better than 6.5% this week? Seems like forces are swirling around that are driving long term rates back up, but the bigger question is when will the spread go back to 150 bps

The guy who rear ended me had his front end demoslishjed whereas only the left side of my rear bumper was dented. The body shop said the...

    old news - started in San Marino and Arcadia in the 80s and Silicon Valley has been this way for a while. Ever heard the term Chan Marino?

    OC has only 1 high end private - Sage Hill. The rest are nothingburgers, wastes of tuition $$ for less competitive atmospheres than ET High. Also, in LF you can send your kid to MV or Capo.

    Is there a Global Crisis on its way?

    I don't think most are aware of Xi's PPT (plunge protection team) plan - force SOEs to liquidate assets and repatriate all cash held overseas to buy shares. The news around Chinese nationals using crypto to get money out of China and HK has been widely reported for non-coincidental reasons...

    The Meadows, Lake Forest by Toll Brothers

    I meant what's missing in SC - but agree with the above. No authentic Japanese in Irvine but not too many Japanese either. My favorite SC Italian is Villa Roma. Nothing like it in Irvine. Is Los Primos no longer in the Heritage Plaza? back in the day that was pretty good.
