Don't quite just yet. Ask for a 20% feng shui discount and buy a few as rentals. Even if you don't want to buy, at least go to the sales office and pressure them for the discount. The developer will get the idea and it may work out well for everyone.

Developer's greed is definitely the cause of the problem. From my personal knowledge, EB5 families don't contribute nearly enough to society in proportion to their income. Specifically, they report only a nominal income each year while hiding the bulk overseas. A family would buy one or two...

Of course we don't live close by.  We respect the vets and that's why we support a cemetery in the new and better neighborhoods. My backyard is full of hills and trees - definitely not a very convenient lot. But more interestingly, there are lots of people in the anti-cemetery group who don't...

Just read the update on the 2-year old from the accident. Fast n Furious is to blame for this stupid muscle car culture.

Sorry everyone. My reply to Swordfish was a bit rude. I was in a movie where my favorite female character was in danger. I was on the edge of my seat and had to finish someone off fast. Asian buyers would be hesitant to buy homes that are in close proximity to a cemetery and as such it can...

I used Pacific Windecor on 4 homes and it has never occurred to me to verify his license. Each time I gave him 20-30% cash deposit and there was not any problem. The installation quality is less than top $$$ contractors but is not something that I can't live with.

Yeah right. Since when has wikipedia become the source of facts and knowledge? I can easily edit it to whatever I want with no regards to the truth. Study your own history before you brag about feng shui. I suggest you start with The Analect, if you know what that is.

Ming Chan does not know what she was talking about. 90% Chinese do not know EXACTLY what feng shui is. Most educated people consider it a voodoo magic. The first record of Feng Shui in China's hiatory was Yi Jing (I ching), which was compiled in the West Zhou dynasty ( roughly between 1000 and...

A bigger question remains though. Why did you decide to eat in the parking lot?

Why don't you want to rent separately? I am sure you can find short term rental. Do your in-laws plan to buy new or existing homes? if they plan to buy new homes from Irvine Company developments,  Irvine Company apartment offer flexible terms that can work out very well for Them. There are...

Sh$ts are getting real. This might help my chance of getting a CCW - we are living the hood now.

Not until the next TI meet.

Southland Ballet at 710 Roosevelt is at such a dreadful corner and the drop-off traffic has to go strictly one way. Today a BMW528 dropped off a little one in the along the red line and remained there a full 60 seconds. The turn was so narrow that there is no way cars behind her could get pass...

It's a bit off the topic but this is where the Affirmative Action hypocrisy ends. I remember seeing an article last year where Pastor Jesse Jackson walked into the boardroom of HP and demanded them (the high-tech industry) to hire more minorities. WTH. Why didn't he go to NBA and NFL and demand...

I get your point. However, it is not like these 'live' vets are fighting for a resting place for themselves in the middle of a Chinese dominated neighborhood. They want something for their fallen friends. You can't resent these old-timers for that. True, what they are insisting is inconvenient...

Positive reinforcement does not positively result in positive results. Not only do I find spoiled brats irritating, I despise their spoiling parents. Spoiling a kid with material stuff is one thing. But spoiling them with constant attention is actually worse. I find kids who couldn't stop...

Hold my beer while I drive around to locate one for you.

It depends on what goes into the salad. I prefer lots of greens and nuts but as little dressing as possible. I keep a mental calorie counter and force myself (successful half of the time) to stop eating no matter how hungry I get by the end of the day.

I suggest a Hispanic nanny.  Before you know it little one would be tri-lingual, all the better for college application.

Hmm, to be fair, they were busy reviving the US economy at the time.
