My wife does the same with my Prius Prime. She just walked away from the car. 😂

How did tax assessment go from $1.5M in 2018 to $338k in 2019? Anyway, it was county that made the assessment, so I don't think it's the buyer's responsibility for the county's mistake, if there were one.

Only 5 bedrooms in a 17,660 sq ft estate. Seems like a waste of space.

116 Sunnyside is probably Fiore, so it should be detached condo. In fact, none of the still ongoing PS communities is attached condo. Fiore and Arbor are detached condos. Sierra, Olivewood, Azul, and Cielo are single family homes. HOA fee doesn't cover trash collection. That's a separate...

There is a prep kitchen. It says so in the description. And it's the picture that zubs posted, the one with cabinets that don't go to the top. Really dumb idea and waste of space, like ThirtySomethingWEquity said.

I don't even carry any cash in my wallet. I use credit cards for every possible purchase.

It's true that IVC pretty much guarantees a path to UC schools, but not necessarily for capped majors. Best path for capped majors is still IUSD.

I agree that there's too much pressure at IUSD, but IUSD is still the best chance to get into top UC schools.

Yeah, we let our son use the loft as his entertainment room when he has friends over. They used to have to go down to the Great room to watch TV in our older home. Now they can just use the loft, which is conveniently next to his bedroom.

This is why we love our current home. 4 BR (one BR downstairs) with its own bath + powder room downstairs + loft. And the full walk-in pantry is my wife's dream.

I'm not a software engineer, if that helps. I majored in EECS at Cal.

No, we can choose iPhone or Samsung as our work phones, but not the latest one.

I thought you figured it out. Maybe it was MCC that figured it out. I did mention that my drive to work is less than 15 minutes.

Yeah, it's just a waste of time and energy to think about what others can afford to buy.

Same for us. I still drive my 2017 Prius Prime. My wife used to buy a lot of clothes, but non-expensive ones. Then she realized that she bought too many, so she hasn't bought any clothes for years now. And she doesn't like to buy expensive brand names either. However, the only thing that is...

Other than extra property tax, how is this different from a $3M or $4M house? Also, most Irvine lots can't fit a pool in the backyard. And these $5M lots aren't big enough either. Only the $7M-$8M TB homes have big enough lots to fit a pool. Unless you're talking about those tiny little pools...

Yeah, I think in order to afford $5M+ homes, it would have to be couples that are both highly paid professionals/engineers. I don't think a highly paid specialist doctor with a stay home/normal paid spouse would feel comfortable enough to buy such a home.

I get the gain from vested amount. Don't forget what company I work for. But you have to understand that he's been working for 4 years, at Twitter and Databricks. Twitter didn't move much from second half of 2020 to 2022 before Musk bought it. Whatever RSUs he was getting, it didn't even double...

I doubt that Twitter would pay a fresh out of college engineer $1M a year. He capped, for sure.

I call BS. There's no way an employee with 4 year of experience is making 7 figures. The article says he graduated in 2020. Databricks is a startup, so his stocks aren't worth anything yet.
