Stepping, I was at the forum - did you go? Be curious to hear what you thought. I was impressed by McEvoy. Bunyan has passion, but doesn'y stand a chance...

If work is in HB, DO NOT rent in Irvine or buy in Corona, your life will be the freeway, seriously. There are fantastic rentals in HB, Costa Mesa and Newport.

That price is for the lot. Block and half behind my place. It will sell, and probably be turned into a McMansion like the abominations on Redlands a few blocks away, or subdivided.

You needed a massive down payment to make the formula work. Tustin mandates that only 35% of your income can be used for home costs - including mortgage, HOA dues, taxes, insurance, Mello-Roos, etc. So, when I qualified back in 2006, my income only allowed me to have total housing costs of...

Art is WAY too dismissive of US law to ever qualify for elected office. He routinely labels anyone opposing illegal immigration as "Mexican haters" and openly calls for defiance of immigration laws. He is also quite the race-baiter, routinely making fun of Vietnamese politicians based on...

Tustin Fields "affordable housing?" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...

There are some great, cheap homes in SanTana right now, but spend a little time driving around at different times of the day, and you will see why. Also, the crime is out of control. I drive to court up Flower often, and would NEVER live there. Just a few blocks away from the 1311 S. Flower...

Can't we all just get along and pray for non-WTF home prices.....................?

Greenspan Says Housing Prices Not Yet Near Bottom (Update1) By Steve Matthews July 31 (Bloomberg) -- Former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said falling U.S. home prices are ``nowhere near the bottom'' and the resulting market turmoil isn't showing signs of abating...

C'mon now, that isn't true. Some examples: The Crossing Church Armstrongs Garden Center Vanguard University Starbucks Skosh Monahans The Grant Boys Growers Ranch El Matador Cal's Camera Outback Steakhouse FedEx Kinkos Starbucks Del Taco Taco Bell Aaron Brothers...

FreedomCM and Stepping, Costa Mesa definitely needs a job center, but the one being considered would not do away with the day laborers entirely. The job center in Orange and the one being proposed for Costa Mesa would require proof of eligibility to work. Illegal immigrants would be...

bk, it really is sad for everyone involved, especially the kids themselves. These failing Costa Mesa schools are part of the superb Newport Mesa USD, and have the resources to make a difference. Since this APPEARS to be a forum for actual discussion and not politically correct horsepoop...

Freedom, I'd say that Wimbledon and the area north of Paularino, west of the 55 are nicer than the general neighborhood of Westside by Fairview Park. Then again, I don't consider the area south of Adams and north of Fairview Park the "Westside." I also think that one of the very nicest...

Costa Mesa homeowners are still stuck firmly in WTF territory. Those Eastside bungalows that sell for $800k sold for $250k in 2001. Nice-size Westside homes clinging to $600k sold for $150k. Tiny condos in crap areas still go for $400k+. There are some dodgy neighborhoods as well. The...

Eva, I may be at the Angels-Yankees game, but if not - I am definitely in!

Anon, For the amount of digging, turning, weeding, and watering I do, I may just put an Earthbox on my dirt patch and put down wood chips or pea gravel and ground cover! Thanks - that thing looks stupid-proof, and any home vegetable grower struggling to get tomatoes going will attest to...

I wasn't sure if we were supposed to read McNatt's blog or post here! I have a 60 square foot patch of dirt that is my garden, and I have been growing tomatoes for 6 years. The last two years, they were doing the same thing McNatt described - growing beautifully for 6 weeks, then producing a...
