I always thought that self-applying the term "Persian" was about showing an association with the roots of Persia and rejecting the current political ideology. Joon?

Okay, I can see where you're coming from with the relative price declines, Garf. I guess the question would remain if outsiders with money would indeed move in with the numbers to bolster Irvine after the dust settles on the looming crash. The fantasy of outsiders swooping in has been a...

Garf-- I think the pricing disparity between Irvine and a place like Detroit should hold. Irvine will probably be just about as much more desirable to live in than Detroit five or ten years from now. BK, I like that read. More specifically, I was thinking of the passage where there is...

HOA's probably increase somewhat in-line with inflation. What will burn will be special assessments ::cough:: lakepines ::cough:: The more I think about it, the more I like turning the Towers into the low income "Projects of Irvine" (as they languish, empty). I'd be happy to move in (and...

Firstof, I'd like to say that Mello-Roos remind me of Bill Cosby. M-E-L-L-O . . . ROOS! Am I the only one? I think they can increase because they are a set amount that the whole community owes. So, if one guy loses his house (which will never happen in Irvine because the prices will go up...

I'm thinking leisurely pace, nothing too fast. Peter's Cyn does have dirt trails, a little tough for the beach cruiser, but that part of the ride could be modified for some, and they could take Jambo and meet up again down the line to make it work.

That kind of reminded me of 1984. According to the ideas about Irvine's desirability set forth here, what exactly will makes it's recovery so much better. I think it's desirability index is solid, and will remain that way-- and probably doesn't have a lot of move to go much higher-- a "ceiling...

http://www.irvineranchlandreserve.org/mountains_map.asp The ride I'm proposing would be from the top of the linear part of the Mountains to Sea trail (okay, just from the parking lot at Albertson's at Jambo and Chaps) down through Peter's Cyn,, all of the way to Back Bay. It would give a...

I like all of the profiling and stereotyping, being backed up by research. I feel like bk could do a really interesting and informative stand-up routine. Bk, any lean towards comedy?

Bump. I'm all about Peter's Canyon, not too far from my place. I used to train on the Santiago Cyn loop, in which you take Jamboree up to SCR and keep going until you get to Trabuco which becomes Irvine Blvd. 31 Miles, it is with some elevations. Some good dirt trails are in...

"To me, any American rich people is new money. The entire country is less than 300 years old. Some of the families in BH have been rich in other countries for a thousand years. No kidding, one of my friend's family owns a business of importing olive oil, and the company was established way...

Flaming TIC Logo on there somewhere maybe? Maybe that could be the "seventh circle."

Speaking of Bren's vision. . . does he ever check back on how it all worked out. . . I guess what I'm wondering is, are there any surveys that TIC does that seek to find out how much someone is enjoying the particular community in which they live? Or which facilities get the most use? Any...

Irvinese, if you please. Irvinese, if you don't please.

You know, it does look like that, I can't be sure. I'll call Bren, ask him, and get back to you all.

Botany question: Does anyone know what kind of ground cover they have at Woodbury? They planted them in a little grid and, now, with their growing in, they look less grid-like.

I def think Chapman is improving, don't know about trashing it to that degree though. I certainly wouldn't want to live there, and if I had a daughter like bk, I'm sure worrying about those kinds of stats comes into play. Touring Riverbend was a nice contrast to something trying to be like...

Thanks Bk, I liked the read. I remember once going into Pacific Ridge and seeing the model homes there. I went onto one of the big lots where they had framed out a 6000 sqft house, and it was with courtyards that the house was really able to take full advantage of the modest...

"Not a single person on this thread has said anything that justifies the cost premium for Lexus, BMW etc (I don't know though, the twisty argument almost got me). " Consumer reports might shed a little light on this. Lexus LS430 is the highest rated car in their history, BMW 3-series...

Don't you ever think that your hips/thighs/butt are any more important than mine, Janet.
