    Enclosed high end malls catering to the Asian shoppers will continue to thrive. Luxury good is highly sought after. Outdoor malls must have vertical height to cast longer shadow. Asians do not like the sun.

    College Admissions Help and Advice

    I do think tutoring works to improving test taking confidence. When it comes to college consultants I agree with those giving good advice to the applicants based on their own merits. Those who fraudulently create fake social media persona and online resume are not doing the students' any favor...

    California Students Flocking to Universities in Arizona

    My childhood friend was an admission officer for USC for many years. He is no longer there. USC is highly selective and difficult to get into for freshman. This college knows how to game the ranking system because all the college ranking data is only based on the Freshmen admission. It is...

    Portola Springs Neighborhood 4B: Brisa, Celeste and Talise

    Great choice in choosing a good plan from a good builder! View property for less than 1m is rare for Irvine. As the GP matures you will appreciate the proximity to all the amenities and still quiet by your enclave. More city lights will be added. Luckily the toll road does not generate a lot of...

    Save the Memorial Park! Vote No on Measure B ballot June 5th

    Not everyone is passionate about visiting the grave site. That does not mean people like me don't respect veterans. We have different way of showing our respect. I don't know of any veteran being buried at the cemetery and I really have no reason to visit. I am an immigrant and so are many who...

    Save the Memorial Park! Vote No on Measure B ballot June 5th

    Everyone cares about the property value including non-chinese. Who wants to get stuck with a property that will not resale well. Everyone is assuming the next buyer will be likely Chinese. By then Portola will knock University off the helm and buyers betting on homes surrounding the school would...

    Save the Memorial Park! Vote No on Measure B ballot June 5th

    Regardless of my affiliation to the developer. I would voice my opinion for what is the right thing to do. The number of homes to be built at the Greatpark has already been entitled and approved. Not a single more unit would be allowed regardless of the cemetery locations. The only difference...

    Cadence Park - Great Park

    YF is Yellow Fever. He thinks Eastwood is heaven. He disappeared for a while and came back with a new name. Very few could successfully conceal their identity as the old timers could sniff them out.

    3 Car Garages

    Yes I remembered in 2006 I warned that the 3CWG will be extinct. Next would be the driveway, then your yard and I was a lunatic for mentioning 3 stories. 12 years later and here we are. Unless the city sets up more stringent code homes will continue to mutate. City codes only enforced required...

    New home company: 40 homes 3800-4200sqft gated in Orange

    No Charter school exists in Orange with a track record to top colleges. Troy is a regular school but also accepts students based on merit from outside of the district. OCHA has done well the last few years with one student being accepted at all 8 ivies and many more attending the top colleges...

    Harvard Admits 4.6% of Applicants; Other Ivy League Schools Get Tougher, Too

    Unfortunately children of privilege upbringing lack the real human experience. The lack of depth came through during the interview. The rich helping the poor Africa trip glamping trip is gimmicky but still being passed around at Dum Sum eateries. Peers gossips pressured parents to enroll...

    Harvard Admits 4.6% of Applicants; Other Ivy League Schools Get Tougher, Too

    4 Years passed by quickly and my daughter will be graduating from college this May. The quality of her education has been stellar and it is not an Ivy school. There are many choices out there for a quality education. I do think the quality of education is better at universities with smaller...

    Deco will have some new plans and have some resemblance to Carlisle. The deco elevations are replaced by modern traditional elevations. A brand new floor plan at the back of the cluster will face the Art Walk. The entry door will not be off the typical paseo. The smallest 2 BR plan from...
