I think the community of Baker Ranch is great, but they do have the elementary school issue and the lack of a true shopping center. If I were buying today, I would strongly consider Delano as well and I have no incentive involved.

It?s moving in the right direction, but won?t be complete unless the JOST extensions remove all pedestrians and cyclists from the intersections along Jeffrey Road to I-405. This will help with traffic flow, pedestrian safety, and provide an alternate way to access IVC. Most importantly it adds a...

Definitely agree. We happen to be in a situation where a WWII service member is in need of a final resting place. As a resident of Irvine for over 40 years with service ties to ETMCAS the preference is for a visible location available ASAP. The strawberry fields really fit that description and...

Just another reason why grading schools isn?t an exact science. A generic computer formula will never replace true experiences. Even testing data could be off as some students are opted out of testing or absent. In the end, experience tells us where the best schools are and the internet...

Might not be popular, but as parents keep reading with your children and you?ll see their progress. Then...let them venture outside to, dare I say it, play.

RMV is really far unless you are planning to take the 241/ Los Patrones. It really depends where your wife commutes if considering South OC. Anything in northwest OC would be quite far, but anything within reach of the 241/261/73 could be worth considering. Be mindful of CUSD, as their Board and...

Saddest thing about the petition is the removal of the flags representing the five military branches at the corner of Barranca and Alton. It shows how poorly informed Irvine residents are when signing a misleading survey. Shame on people for not caring and thinking. Shame on Larry Agran for...

Chromebooks could be great classroom resources, but they must be used effectively. I agree with the screen overuse fears and worksheet comments. The Chromebook is an excellent supplement to learning especially for skill reinforcement and practice. Google?s collaboration tools are great for group...

For most school districts, the entire week for Thanksgiving was taken off due to budget cuts and furlough days. Some districts have seen the value to maintaining the week vacation due to attendance ADA funding. Irvine has chosen to end their school year two days earlier than other districts...

Last year, Acapulco in Costa Mesa actually had a really nice buffet. Traditional Mexican fare in addition to all of your traditional American Thanksgiving fixings. I?d recommend it although some might think it is weird to enjoy a holiday turkey meal at their restaurant.

Maybe getting rid of the SALT deduction would encourage Californians to finally question all of the taxation in this state and why all of the money collected in the state doesn?t seem to go as far as people would hope.

Quite funny how the Landsea developer suggests the appeal of the Iron Ridge location is that it is not Irvine, yet the builder identifies that he lives in Orchard Hills.

Anyone ever thought it might be time to find a school board that has actual experience in education instead of law and business. It might actually help change from the lack of planning for the new schools and constant boundary adjustments. Latest example might be the two elementary schools...

Agree with the need for a food hall style design for WVC, but I think TIC is resigned to keeping it a lightly visited location.

The elementary school is Portola Hills, which has always been zoned El Toro as well. Not a fun drive for middle school down to Serrano Int off of Ridge Route and Jeronimo. A middle school would also make sense in the BR area.

Visited the Grocery Outlet today at their grand opening and was, as expected, underwhelmed. The store reminds me of a smaller Smart & Final, which looks like another potential vacancy in about a year. On a positive note, the outdoor areas are pleasant looking with a nice variety of seating...

I agree with the plug-in hybrid idea. A battery that lasts long enough for a round trip commute (100 mile range?), but also have the ability to travel anywhere without the ability to recharge.

Regarding Toll brothers proposal, although I?d still recommend a K-8. agenda2009.city-lakeforest.com/SIREPub/cache/2/5unw2th45wlbd0nrdmrzgxum/15658309252017085207986.PDF

I drive around the area frequently and have pretty good knowledge of the community although Irvine is home. I'm just an advocate of community involvement and schools being located near the newly developed communities. I believe Toll Brothers has harmed its buyers by not using its influence to...

Sounds like Baker Ranch problems excluding the pool.
