I thought you were a doomer who made his family move into a rental waiting for the 'crash' so you could buy back in Irvine? or am I confusing you with someone?

How are we going to pay the debt otherwise? You need to inflate it away. Rates are coming down. Maybe not next year, but for sure in the next 24 months.

Do you guys think if Prop 13 was to only apply to primary residences, and/or extra taxes on corporations buying SFHs, it would drive prices down? Those are two things I see potentially happening in my lifetime, but i'm not sure it would even do all that much. Maybe some investors might bail...

Yeah but a Dr. + Nurse or NP or med tech and you are getting closer to that number.

Retail is coming. They said that the last ten years, but this year is different.

I think there are a lot of doctors that live in or are moving to Irvine. Between Kaiser, Hoag, the giant new UCI medical center they're building on jamboree, the giant building under construction by the broadcom center, etc.

“Not particularly rare”? You can look up average TC for various levels. It’s the top end if L6 ranges at big tech companies. L6 at faang type companies is what, less than 10%? So no, i’d argue it’s fairly rare these days. Maybe you work at TGS in irvine where it’s average, but it’s...

Having a 45 minute round trip commute is negated by the fact that I can get a snack 20 feet from my desk whenever I want, I don't have to make myself a coffee, I don't have to make myself (or drive to) lunch, etc. I'm thinking if companies want people in the office, they're going to have to...

I go to the office voluntarily but it doesn’t hurt I get free food, coffee, snacks and massages. However I keep finding myself on teams from the bay area. I will maintain the idea that despite the friction of being “remote”, distributed teams are the way of the future

Keep in mind, some of the people who buy these houses don't give a rats ass about making a profit. They just want to 🛁🛁🛁 the money.

Also next door to one of the richest hedge funds in the country.

How does it compare to The Melt? Because i love taking my son to The Spectrum and sometimes we just want cheeseburgers for lunch…

I’d go to phoenix. I’d prefer extreme summers to extreme winters!

I don’t understand what the current argument is about? Should we go back to shitting on college?

I have some friends and acquaintances who graduated from UC’s who have struggled in the tech industry and I’ve interviewed plenty who just straight bomb. *shrug*

Fine, Cal is more like Portola springs.

I’m sorry to say but STEM education by the UC’s is atrocious. People who succeed in stem careers coming from the UC’s do it with a ton of extra self study. Their curriculum is pretty bad. Let me put it another way: UC education is the Eastwood Village of colleges. Way over priced and not...

Plenty bought way lower then what they are now. At one point Evergreen started at 1.5m.

I am in BR, and last year at one of the community events they had about 200 kids were 2 and under that showed up. There are a LOT of families here. Also where are you getting 10k a month? Maybe for the model home of Evergreen? We saw some rentals for 4500 already.

Maybe, if CalTech is as exclusive and selective as you all say it is, maybe they are all going to work for boutique finance companies (that are known to be more selective and much more lucrative than FAANG/big tech). It would make sense why they fly under the radar, often tech people who work...
