    PROP 13 & commercial properties

    I wouldn?t tie teacher quality to online grades. Some teachers choose for students to track their grades so they are more accountable for their grade. Technology is a great resource, but might be overused by both teachers and students in the classroom.

    PROP 13 & commercial properties

    Just like Social Security, those currently employed are paying the benefits for the retired. Yes, the amounts are very different, but the result is similar. Of course the districts are on the hook per bargaining for a much higher percentage. CTA has too much influence on elections. I would call...

    Katie Porter's vote for impeachment!

    Might be well off topic, but I wouldn?t be sad to see all deductions removed in favor of reducing our national debt. Yes, it would increase my tax liability just like most. Similarly, I have been intrigued by The Fair Tax since it puts the ability to pay taxes back in the hands of the purchaser...

    The 2020 Presidential Election

    School should and could be much safer, but the resources are not allocated this way. The common argument is local control, with the majority of funding coming from each state individually. Therefore, money talks, but states need to be more pointed in how this money or other money is used. I...

    Katie Porter has voted for the impeachment inquiry!

    Therefore Congress and the Senate need to find some level of compromise for the list. It can happen, we need to demand it of both sides.

    Katie Porter's vote for impeachment!

    Porter was elected fairly and we should respect that, but I believe she will face a much tougher challenge if the Republicans select a strong primary candidate. Every candidate has their supporters; Porter benefited greatly from the votes of UCI students who might not vote for her now that she...

    Katie Porter's vote for impeachment!

    Either way, people need to voice their opinion to their elected official in addition to expressing their view here. Congresswoman Katie Porter may be reached at (202) 225-5611. Leave a message expressing your views in favor or against both articles of impeachment.

    Katie Porter has voted for the impeachment inquiry!

    Katie Porter sponsored a bill to use her campaign donations toward her children?s care; HR 1623. I wish she would lead a bipartisan effort for simple, one step forward, immigration reform.

    More buildable land in Irvine after the current villages are built out?

    ...and if they ever connect Portola (Irvine) to Portola (Foothill Ranch), then the quick jump to retail would be easy. Although there is absolutely no incentive for Irvine to support this.

    EV/Plug-in/Other vehicles

    The Chevy Volt is pretty good with almost 60 miles before even switching to the ICE. I?m sure a great deal can be found since they are on their last model year.

    Year round elementary schools

    Year round should be expanded, but can only happen if parents show an interest at the IUSD meetings. It is great for the continuity of learning. High school sports would be affected, but would adjust in time.

    Feedback on new site idea - villages/tracts in Irvine

    Agree. Floor plans would offer a great service to any future buyer.

    Remove Principal Leslie Roach from Northwood High School

    IUSD parents all had a chance to review the adopted curriculum at the District Office. This could have been avoided by not allowing the district to adopt the textbooks in support of this curriculum. NGSS is a mess in many districts no matter the program. Integration will be confusing, but those...

    Question Re: Timeline and final location for OC Veteran?s Cemetery

    Regarding this legislation the key ?No Vote Recorded? by Assembly Member Steven Choi (former Irvine mayor). Either way he should have gone on the record in voting for or against the bill. We don?t elect officials to avoid votes they are quite familiar with. ARDA isn?t my first choice in...

    Grocery Outlet

    I agree. I was hoping for one of the other suggestions too. It seemed perfect for a 360 or TJs because of the active lifestyle accessibility of the trails. I?ll sometimes suggest the location to Trader...https://www.traderjoes.com/contact-us/location-request

    Midterm Elections

    Then again many Californians voted for state legislators who have been raising taxes in a variety of ways. Perhaps it is time to remove the D or R from candidate names.

    Streaming Services

    We are pretty happy with only using Hulu live TV with DVR and commercial skipping. It seems to offer most everything we want; now if we can only find the right ISP.

    Baker Ranch in Lake Forest / Foothill Ranch

    ...still wondering where Baker Ranch Elementary will be. That?s what happens when developers pay the fees directly to the District. The money doesn?t have to be spent directly on the area that paid for it like MR.

    Beverly Hills students protest Metro line

    Instead of using ignorant college students to push an agenda they have now moved to use ignorant high school students. Students don?t care about a subway that will be completed years after they graduate, but they won?t mind a day away from school on the District?s, er public?s, dime.

    If you could change one thing in your home, what would it be?

    We have a single vanity in our master and would love for it to be a double. Adjacent to the sink, but separated is the shower and toilet, which we would like to replace the door with a pocket door. The challenge is relocating a light switch and gfi outlet. It?s on the future to do list.
