Have you walked into a trash dump and see what kind of stuff people throw away. You think landfill is for dirt and landscape waste. The trash from the entire OC is being dumped there. I certainly threw away my share of paints, batteries, and motor oil in milk cartons. Have you seen what Santa...

Trash Gravy run off and drains to the lowest elevation at the shortest distance. It also leaches into the ground and travel below the surface. Landslide on hill terrain is caused by subsurface water intrusion. Your theory of moisture does not travel beneath the earth surface is very naive. This...

Trash gravy drains perpendicular to contour lines. Just like the Plume it moves underneath the earth surface. That flow line points straight to Eastwood. Eastwood is at the lowest elevation where the trash gravy is likely to settle. Unfortunately PS, Stonegate and Eastwood are all at the lower...

This stems back many years at UNI High too. The school internally damage controlled a few. Here is another case from even earlierhttp://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-irvine-teacher-arrested-20140617-story.html When a lot of money is involved such as Choate of course there were covered...

when the students are desperate for the best grades to get into the top colleges. Teachers without moral value could take advantage of the situations. UNI High for example had similar problems. Irvine is not exempt. Political families and their children groomed to be the future political leaders...

No need to exert my Confucius Taoist humility dealing with TI aggressionists.

I practically live in the TCE area considering all the meetings I go to. I don't feel threaten and scared of it. I would live there just like IHO if we find a product to our liking.

OMG! You asked the dumbest question. If you work in Alhambra then you have so much to choose from. Buy the cheapest house you can in the San Marino schoool district. No brainer.

Yes I would love to be IHO's neighbor as long the width of the habitable portion of his house is wider than his 5CWG and fits the following formula. Width of IHO habitable portion of house+ 5CWG < the summation of both of his TCE side yards where by the structure height is < the front yard...

One of my properties is exactly that. A 4 car garage with an 8 car driveway among Qwerty's relatives.

I wrote the design guidelines for Shady Canyon and it was paraphrased for Crystal Cove. I am the source.

Over building the site is the exact definition of Mcmasionization. Take Santa Monica for example. Recent decades the city littered with over scaled homes. Some were designed by excellent architects. Many were designed by unskilled architects. Can the city cherry pick the well designed and over...

Even Santa Ana never had a lock down. Personal grievances should be expedited on the streets and not inside the school.

You said it yourself MASSIVE HOUSE with tiny backyard. what is the formulaic and numerical formula. The height of the house> front yard. The width of the house > left sideyard+right sideyard. This numerical approach is much more scientific. Although there is a stylistic definition but with the...

What about TCE and Affordable for a 5CWG split with kids garages at one end with a detached casita studio above it to entertain their friends and not tracking their muddy shoe prints into the main house. You are right people who wants certain things bad enough will compromise on certain things...

Definition of McMansion is the height of the home is greater than the front setback. The width of the home is greater than both sideyards combined. That is clearly in Irvine and not in North Dakota.

I am much more interested in entry level housing than those $m neighborhoods. Of course we all know The higher the prices the better the neighborhoods. It does not take a genius to figure it out. Frankly I am not impressed with the so call $m neighborhood Fever is raving about. The big Spanish...

I differ with your opinion in so many way. I see CVE as the ideal location. Unfortunately you based your decision on old data. You are seriously not looking forward to 20 years from now. Millennials will be the future consumers. The generation who prefers Spanish stucco boxes is at the tail end...

There is a difference between affordable housing vs government subsidized housing. Affordable housing is home ownership and subsidized housing is not. The organizations that run affordable housing operate just like a home builder. In fact they hire well known home builders to construct the...

It's true feeder schools such as Phillips Exeter with a good GPA and SAT score are a guarantee to the Top colleges. The top five schools, Phillips Andover Academy in Andover, Mass., St. Ignatius Preparatory in San Francisco, Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, N.H., Choate Rosemary Hall in...
