9:00pm is 'ok' parking imo - i hate when you go out to dinner and a movie and get back at 11 and then have to walk across the street to park.

Its sexy to Japanese people I guess - they are OBSESSED with young there.  Young young young young young.  The younger looking the better.  They have a LOT of loli-con stores in tokyo and its considered totally acceptable for people to get all excited and fannish about 15 year old girls.    In...

you can make ANYTHING with a microwave, toaster oven,  and a mini fridge.  A sink is a good idea too - you could put in a water filter. Hmm. You'd need a regular sized fridge or ....some way to get ice up there. At this point though you basically have a studio apartment.      And I stand by...

Its certainly not attractive.  To me.  But a bunch of people bought em so what the hell do I know. I have to say, if my honey was like "hey lets buy this one it has a MAN CAVE" I'd be so turned off by that term that I'd say no.... even though I actually like the room.  Just not the term. Maybe...

Is that a wetbar with a mini fridge and...what's that other thing?  Sign me up! Needs a toaster oven and maybe a microwave though, where will you make bagel bites and those little hot dogs wrapped in pastry and hot chili cheese dip?  Needs video games and high speed internet though, maybe...

I personally hate the booth table setup, but all someone would need to do is pull that out and repaint all the red trim and its a fairly nice looking kitchen unless you absolutely hate the black and white.  BUt otherwise the kitsch is not to my taste.  Also hopefully there is a trashcan hidden...

When we first started dating my bf lived at San Leon which had a lot of parking but the spaces were narrow and far away from the apartment buildings -  I kind of hated it there, but they do have 1brs, ample parking, etc.      Honestly if you aren't married to renting in Irvine/Tustin you can...

Finally a post on the OC board and I don't really have anything to contribute.  The high end market is finally starting to drop a bit. I think thats all it means.  And we already knew that.  I mean Laguna Beach is very nice but it does have downsides - its not nearly as comfortable a commute...

when my parents bought their first ever "new" home (investment property up north) they were shocked and horrified by all the little addon costs.  They swore they'd never do it again and they pretty much turned me off to it too.    And because of the way their builder waranty worked they felt...

One of those neighborhoods with houses and an HOA. >_> Honestly I don't know, I do know its technically over the Tustin border but in the Irvine school district.  And it would have been new 4ish years ago? 

Technically (and this is just my opinion), Irvine (and Santa Ana) is  not really the suburbs of LA - we have quite a lot of business here and most people work and live here or nearby.    If  you're looking for an LA suburb you're more likely to go someplace like Brea or Cerritos (if you want...

I for one assume you are actually a sophisticated artificial intelligence entity built to keep a regular flow of posts on TI.  Every time the system senses a lull in posting it sends you out to create.  And then of course it makes sure you post regular responses so you look like a real person. ...

well, that's nationwide of course but I think there are plenty of people in so cal who are penny wise and pound foolish - the people who drove up the bubble haven't all moved away or anything.  I feel like I heard a lot of people talk about that new home credit.    I don't think it was as big...

better check, my friend moved into a neighborhood that had "no washing cars in your driveway" in their HOA.  It was a small but unexpected additional expense for him to have to take the family cars to a car wash.    The no auto work in plain sight thing is really common -  I can understand not...

their website says 40% sold in one news post and "almost half" in another, so probably between 40-50% sold out.    And then a screeching halt.

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/24/business/economy/24home.html "?That new home sales would decline in May following the expiration of the home buyers credit is not at all surprising,? said Dan Greenhaus, chief economic strategist for Miller Tabak, in a research note. ?However, we would be lying...

I once was searching for threads on SAnta ana neighborhoods and found the thread where about 4 pages of people either say "Santa ana? but there are MEXICANS there.  Lots of them!" or say "OMG I can't believe how racist everyone is here, omg omg". Kinda turned me off to that crowd.    Any...

Should we start calling ex-manhattanites something like "FCB" too because their skewed ideas about housing prices are propping up prices?      They are like the OC-ites moving to oregon and arizona that thought buying a 400k house was a great deal while the natives thought those people were out...

Eh, passive aggressive has its place.  If you don't know your neighbors too well and you think its possible that your call will be FAIRLY anonymous (like your HOA has people patrol regularly for violations or the violation affects a LOT of houses and not just the 2 closest to it) it might be...

Mmmm Chick-Fil-A...so tasty.    I have thought about going just for free stuff and to look at models but my boyfriend doesn't get the point of looking at model homes just to LOOK ("are we going to buy this, ever?" "No." "why bother?" "fun?" ";_;").  Plus I find the new home sales people creepy...
