All good hoods, what made you decide on those areas? CG and Woodbury are newer, Westoark Ii is 90s (and MRs expired) and Woodbridge is the oldest (including Westpark I).

Try Paradise Dynasty around the corner. We like them both.

I guess that will help prevent colon cancer in the younger generation.

Yep... that Arby's has been there for decades.. just the like the Wienerdudes and Burger Kings that used to be in Irvine. I'm surprised Carl's Jr is still making it.

Welcome to Irvine.

Didn't I say that if Toyota decided to do EVs, they would do well? https://electrek.co/2026/02/04/toyota-bz-among-americas-top-selling-evs/ By end of year they should have a 4-EV lineup... so while Ford is downsizing... Toyota is going to pass them up again.

Doubt it will make them cheaper to operate. As soon as there is profit margin somewhere... they will abuse it. That's one thing about EVs that is killing old school dealers, no revenue on maintenance. Regulation has its time and place. Covid has shown less ICE cars on the road does affect...

The closed Arby's location has signage for "Wallace Chicken". Supposed to be value fried chicken fast food.

Someone mentioned this in the Real Estate thread but there is a dedicated website: https://www.canopygreatpark.com/ It's going to anchored by an Asian supermarket (of course) and it's not 99 or H... it's T&T Supermarket. Also.. rumor is the drive through is going to be In&Out.

And let's be honest, reversal of the EPA rulings isn't going to magically make ICE cars cost less. I think it was just an excuse for ICE makers to raise prices. What they are going to end up doing now is keep prices high saying that to switch out of their fuel/pollution savings build models cost...

New homes have wiggle room and pretty much set the pace. Resale homes, even if moving slow or discounted, are still very high compared just to 3 years ago. And again, this isn't isolated to Irvine, so it can't just be FCBs... the graph for almost every OC city is similar.

Proving "primary residence" is the tough part. The last home we sold was supposed to be the buyer's "primary"... they had a renter in a month after we moved out (we were doing a rentback and they asked us if we wanted to stay longer).

So unlike somebody, I can be objective and look at both sides of a topic (and so can Electrek): https://electrek.co/2026/02/12/europe-surges-us-stumbles-china-cools-ev-sales-dip-in-2026/ I still don't understand how EVs are politicized... technology is an advancement for all, was there a...

But how low can the prices go back down to? Recent crashes have resulted in a higher baseline of prices (except for the Costco hot dog meal) so how much delta can the Boomer bomb create? Everyone kept saying that when rates go up again from the 2-3% days, prices would go lower... but the graphs...

This thread is funny. I'll add to the fire... Isn't every elementary in the new neighborhoods of Irvine a Chinese Immersion class? :)

Not sure lowering costs will help... companies will just keep prices where they are at or continue to raise them. It's called the Chipotle effect. :)

I miss @usctrojancpa real estate updates. Makes me wonder how the market is out there considering how high the prices are. I used to do a market prediction poll around June every year but it was pointless because the prices just keep going up. There are dips and lulls but there hasn't been a...

I like that the stock market and job market is positive... but prices are still too high (not sure that can be fixed by any administration as I blame the companies and not the president). Now let's get that Russian/Ukranian war ended... Oh wait... America first. Oh wait.. Venezuela. Oh...

Japanese Big Oil betting on Toyota EVs: https://electrek.co/2026/02/09/big-oil-is-betting-big-on-toyota-to-win-the-solid-state-battery-race/ Solid state EVs have been touted as a game changer because of high storage and fast charging... let's see how this goes. Why is a Japanese oil company...

50k and still going... Tariffs work!!! Where is the morekaos crystal ball? Panda magic 8-ball exploded years ago.
