    Does anyone have the latest Foreclosure map in Quail Hill?

    Yep, can't be good for the economy, and it is not. I would break lease too if it were $200/sft. Hence this is my bottom price. I would not break lease for $300/sft. I would consider my employment prospects and think very hard about it if it were $250. Think this house would lease for...

    Does anyone have the latest Foreclosure map in Quail Hill?

    yep. average BofA share price over last 6 months -- $20. Price today -- under $6. think the relevant question is where you think ~3000sft houses will sell in the next 6 months and where they will bottom. My guess? -- $200/sft. So I am not a buyer here. EDIT -- ok, that was harshly...

    Does anyone have the latest Foreclosure map in Quail Hill?

    How can anyone, including you, be sure of anything selling at a given price "tomorrow"? If I were the bank, the only thing I would be reasonably confident in would be that if I auction it today the odds of covering my $700k first lien are higher than if I wait. Judging by the cars parked there...

    Admission to UCLA and Berkeley

    Academic knowledge is less than 1/3 of your success. Your USC friend probably came from a wealthier family, or they wouldn't have splurged on USC tuition, and wealthier families tend to have better connections to help their kids land nice jobs.

    Shady Canyon

    44% off 2004 price... Now why is it surprising? This is where bids are on all real estate. $460 per sqft... Why is it that there is a theory that larger properties should have higher $$$/sqf? Is it because it is hard to create larger plots by combining lots (doubt it)? Is it because...

    What defines the 'heart" of Irvine to you?

    The center of Irvine is 405 and Jamboree. Period. It even has downtown "highrises".

    Schools, asians, and racism

    Yeah, agree the poll questions are crap, but can't edit them... Was discussing moving from QH to Turtle Ridge in the summer (gotta love the freedom of renting), wife wants to keep kids in Alderwood, this came up, I said Bonita is a better school (because it gets better results out of white...

    Schools, asians, and racism

    Bailout, crisis, banks, jobs, money... let's talk about something else. (but acknowledge that <a href="http://www.thebailoutgame.us">www.thebailoutgame.us</a> is pretty neat) Read below and answer the poll question. From my email to wife today: <blockquote>Also, compare these two...

    How does this happen?

    I for one KNOW that Farmers & Merchants Bank is conservative because they hired conservatives looking actors with soothing voices for their TV ads.

    I got a speeding ticket this morning...

    Now I would call bull on that if the information was public, but I'll just have to trust you I guess. Anyone has access to statistics on traffic violations? Via the courts maybe? I commute on the same road every day and the increase in flashing blue lights is clearly obvious. People...

    I got a speeding ticket this morning...

    Is there any way I could get more information on this directive, like the date it was issued, etc? Is it public info, eg is there a California equivalent of the Freedom of Information act?
