    Hey Irvinites...you got Earthquake Insurance?

    It is pricey compared to what you pay for regular homeowner's, but it's still only $400/yr here vs $550 for our standard insurance. The deductible is really high ($30K) but if something happens FEMA will give out no interest loans. I just figure that if a quake destroys the foundation, we'd be...

    Govt. to REQUIRE adults to carry Health care insurance

    <blockquote></blockquote> On the last WHO (from 2000) ranking Canada which everyone is touting as the way to go finished 30th on the rankings and the US finished 38th. If you read the articles that I posted earlier you would see that those rankings could possibly have skewed the US lower...

    Who else is having a slow July?

    I sell software and Q2 was the worst I have EVER seen. Q1 wasn't exactly stellar and the only reason it wasn't dismal was because of Q4 stuff rolling over. So, '09 itself has not been great, so my income is down because I rely heavily on commssions. I actually found myself in kind of funk and...

    IHB's New Troll

    I'm always the last one to figure out that a troll is a troll... No_Vas and Graph seem to be the experts at sniffing them out within their first few posts.

    Govt. to REQUIRE adults to carry Health care insurance

    Yes, we have a lot of great doctors in this country that the people with money and/or the right insurance can access, but our system is broken and NEEDS to be fixed. My husband tried to get insurance on his own because COBRA was outrageous and he was denied because he takes a medicine for cold...

    Irvine residents should dispute their home purchase, apartment lease

    I like Delroy! Seriously, do people really not get that just about every military base closure was on the SuperFund list? They bought the sizzle and shine of the new home in Irvine without any thought whatsoever. And from what I've read, the disclosures have been there. Who in their right mind...

    Interesting/Amusing Property Finds

    Thanks SoCal... being the RE geek that I am, I do happen to have a zip log in. It was still difficult to read and I was expecting it to be an excerpt out of some epic or classic novel, but from what I could read, it seemed like it may have been a book about the Rolling Stones???? I don't get it?????

    Palin will do anything for attention

    I know I'm going to sound like a snob for saying this, but when I hear the luddites and flat earthers, I just know that there is no point in trying to have an intelligent discussion. That being said, I do respect true conservatives' views and believe that they just see the world differently than...

    A guy on house arrest at the Village IAC Apts

    This is thread is so Irvine. Most people want to believe that Irvine is this ideal island that is protected from the realities of what some humans do. There are not so nice people everywhere, including Irvine. It's a safe city, but it is a city with enough of a population that some percent of...

    Palin will do anything for attention

    It's really got to be about the money, but it's still pathetic that she won't finish out her term.

    Automatic Property Tax Reassessment

    I sent in the informal request because their automatic reduction last year was a total joke. They had valued it 30% more than what we paid for it, so I wasn't expecting them to lower it from what we bought it for. They gave us a 6.75% reduction from our purchase price this year, which is higher...
